Which efis? Usually an alarm light is wired between the efis alarm lead and a 12v source. When the efis senses an alarm condition, it grounds the circuit thus illuminating the light.
Check your wiring to make sure it isn't prematurely grounded.
Also check all your parameters on the efis to see if something is causing the alarm condition but isn't a parameter you are displaying.

Good news. I replaced the RDAC for my MGL a month ago and am still chasing bugs with it. These electronic do dads are pretty neat when they work, when they don't, not so much.
