Default DB2/DB3 Problem

I think I should stick with screwing in light builbs.
I have a DB3/TBS with Impact Apple. When I turn on the power to my KT and turn on power to the TX, the KT immediately starts up. When i move the throttle up (elevator) to the save/start position, the tank turns off and restarts itself.
Plus, when it autostarts, the lights on the Apple come on and stay on.
If i turn off the TX and turn it back on, the Apple will turn off.
When i put the Jumper on the DB3 to "hardwire" the configuration, the Apple is lit up and when I save the configuration, the Apple turns the lights off. It's the reverse of what it should be.
There is no delay in the firing sequence. I can fire the cannon constantly. This seems to come and go.
It appears that I have the LED circuit from the Apple to the DB3 reversed. The Apple LED's come on when they should go off and vice versa.
Except, I traced all leads and the are correct....
Anyone have any ideas?
I swear I'm about ready to toss it and order a Clarke board except I have to use a SERVO for the elevation and I don't think that works with a Clarke board?
Thanks
