Hi All
Why is it , after rewiring , heatshrinking , installing the decoder , getting the locomotive to run correctly , the tail lights wont work?
1. The bulb is blown?
2. The wiring is incorrect?
3. The function is set incorrectly?
4. Dry soldered joint?
No none of the above - the yellow wire function will not work!!
Of coarse I had taken the mini bulb out of the heatshrink , tested with meter and voltage , rewired with new wires
tested again , tested functions again
Put a Meter on the yellow and blue wire -No significant voltage
That's two faulty decoders in 3 installs
The lighting only decoder was perfect
These things are sent to try us!
Regards Zmil
