I know this is an old topic but I’m having similar issues I think. All the limit switches on the inputs are lit up yellow. I used shielded wire and grounded them but now they are just brighter.

what is the input common connected to?
Sounds more like a wiring error of some kind
(missing common connection?)

It really sounds like some kind of wiring error

My guess would be that you have a large AC (maybe HF)
voltage from V- to frame ground.
