Ledger wallet - can't sign transactions in ElectrumABC to move XEC that is on ledger

Note: I meanwhile figured out the issue described in this first comment, but it made me run into a second issue that is in the next comment.
Hello,
I had my BCH in a Ledger and wanted to split it. I've read the guide https://blog.bitcoinabc.org/2020/11/25/how-to-split-your-bch-bchn-and-bcha-coins-using-electrum-abc-and-electron-cash/ so I decided to send BCH to a fresh wallet in Electron cash and then follow the steps in the guide.
I think I made a mistake on the way though because I decided to first send a test transaction from ledger to Electron and test the process in the guide. I saw the coins from the test transaction in both ElectronCash and ElectrumABC and was able to split them.
I then sent the rest of the coins to the next receiving address in Electron Cash. These coins only appear in Electron cash and not in Electrum ABC. My XEC balance there remains the same. What would be the reason here and how can I solve it?
Related question: I also tried connecting my Ledger directly to ElectrumABC to see if I could just move the coins directly from there. I can import my ledger wallet, but only one of two BCH accounts I have in Ledger live. And unfortunately it's the one I no longer use and has zero balance. How can I import the second one as that's where the coins are? I already tried the 'scan more addresses' with number set to 1000 but that didn't give any result.
Thanks
I have meanwhile figured out what I did wrong, and also found out how to see different BCH ledger live accounts in ElectrumABC. I can confirm in ElectrumABC that the XEC is still on the ledger.
However, when I try to sign a transaction the Electrum wallet keeps saying 'sign transaction on ledger' but nothing happens on the ledger device. Does it not work to sign transactions in ElectrumABC using Ledger?
resolved it myself
