Well today I spent some time root causing the issue. I popped the shell and trace the program switch wires back to the board. Sometimes wires are not crimped correctly inside their connectors and can cause the issue.
I notice the blue wire looked to be on an awkward angle. So I pressed on this wire while programing the new number. And it worked. I was able to change the address from 1 to 57... problemed solved!... so I thought. I cycled the power. once, twice, three times... ok … well on the fourth try it revert back to ID no. 1.
