Just received a MS4 fender foot switch (0080996000) to add to my Mustang III amp. None of the lights come on, none of the buttons work and it reads U-3 on the digital display. I tried a new software update and it didn't correct the problem. Also tried my other cable from my ms-2 to check if it was a cable issue. Any ideas?

I don't have the fancy schmancy 4 button pedal yet, but one thing comes to mind just to rule out the simple stuff ... where did you plug the cable in the back? Just make sure you didn't put it in the 2-button jack by mistake.

Also, did you plug it in and then turn on the power for the amp, or was the amp already powered up?

Here is a thread where someone had the same issue: http://forums.fender.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=73724

great question, and yes, i did plug it into the 4 pedal jack and i believe the amp was off, but i will double check later today to make sure. I did see that post but it never said if it was resolved or not.

The O.P. never updated the thread, but it sounds like there was a hardware problem (with the amp, not the pedal) and the amp had to be exchanged through the dealer he purchased it from :cry:

that's not good. I've had the amp well over 1.5 years +/- a few months. :(
