remove the blade from the brain. hold the button on the blade module WHILE inserting it back into the brain. it should flash a few times then remain a solid color. After that, do the normal program procedure and you should be good.

I have tried that a few times. I have tried a few Blade-Al's When I do the factory reset the red light blinds and stays solid for a few seconds (like it should) Any more ideas?

if the modules been reset, and it's still not doing anything at all, assuming all your 12v connections are good, then it sounds like either a faulty module or brain to me.

That is what I thought also. I have swapped brains and bypasses and still nothing. I went through and checked all settings 2 and 3 times. I have never used the blades as a bypass before so I thought I was doing something wrong.

double check your connections. make sure you have correct 12v, ground, can hi and low, etc.

I've rarely had any issues with the blade modules.

And just to make sure, you did flash the module with the correct firmare right?

Had to re-flash. Blue light, like it was suppose to.

And the best part of flashing the Blade module on the iDatalink Web site is that you can also update the Compustars' firmware & configure the Compustars'  settings at the same time.  Easier than using the OP-500.

Soldering is fun!
