Board does not go into RTL or Waypoint mode

Hello, I have a problem that my Ardu Pilot board doesn't do anything when I turn the toggle switch. Neither the Mux LED nor the Mode LED ever went on. With the oscilloscope I was able to mesure that a signal is coming in the ATtiny but no matter how wide the pulses are nothing comes out at PB1 and PB3. I reprogrammed the Attiny, but that didn't help. But since I can program the ATtiny it should work.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks greets simon

Is the board powered on? Are your servo plugs in the right way? Maybe you have a borked board....that's a Sparkfun issue.

yes the board is powered on, the Power LED is on, and I can move the servos with my remote control. Also when I have the Bind Plug in and get a GPS lock the servos start to move until I pull the bind plug out. I just get absolutly no reaction when turn the switch. I also tried this on different ports on my receiver.

What RC system are you using?

I'm using Graupner MC24 and as receiver Graupner SMC-19.
But I got it to work now with failsave V15 thanks Michel for the hint.
The only problem left is that I only can switch from Autopilot off to RTL mode. In other words the Waypoint mode doesn't work (The Mode LED never goes on).

I fixed this problem. I had a broken connection on the board...
