What's not working about it? What does it do or not do?

Looks like the green LED on the power supply goes off too. Short to ground somewhere. Does it do the same when connecting to the other 24v in? What is on the other side where you have the mounting screws going through? A stand off body or a washer that is shorting something to ground on the back side?

Keith, are you talking toggling the enabling of the 3/4 axis button that parameter 131 does, or toggling the 4th axis DRO display like the 3/4 axis button itself does? I'm looking at the later. Thanks.
