PMDG B737 AFDS Light Test Switch (SOLVED)

Please could someone tell me the VAR number to assign to the B737 PMDG AFDS test switch. This is the switch to check that the A/P, A/T and FMC recall switch lights are working. I have scrolled up and down the script trying many possibilities but cannot find the right one. Many thanks in advance!

Hi
I believe it is 2369 for Captains and 2378 for First Officers.
Regards.

Hi, thanks for such a quick reply, script reads "Var 2369, name CPT_DISENGAGE, static" Tried it but no luck, still no test lights.......

Do you have the switch connected to a MASTER card that is configured with IDX 31 and to input 21 and 22. Change if necessay

Var 2369, name CPT_DISENGAGE, static

Var 0510, name sCPT_UP_TEST, Link IOCARD_SW, Device 31, Input 21
{
IF &sCPT_UP_TEST = 1
{
&CPT_DISENGAGE = 0
}
ELSE
{
&CPT_DISENGAGE = 1
}
}

Var 0511, name sCPT_DOWN_TEST, Link IOCARD_SW, Device 31, Input 22
{
IF &sCPT_DOWN_TEST = 1
{
&CPT_DISENGAGE = 2
}
ELSE
{
&CPT_DISENGAGE = 1
}
}
