Hi Steve, The D(SW12) and 4(SW18)Switches uses the same line in the Programmer matrix, identified P13, Pin-5 of CN10 welded to the KLM-371(programmer board) On the KLM-371 between the SW15(PROGRAM-1) & the SW16(PROGRAM-2) you have a Fixing screw. The P13 trace pass just above, removed this screw and turn on the P6 on says us !
