Blinking cab light | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I bought a new Lionel SD70 ACe and it has about two hours running time on it. It has now developed a problem with the cab light which is supposed to turn off when the locomotive is in motion. Mine instead blinks on and of in threes every 2 or 3 seconds. I reprogrammed and clicked on and off the switches for Legacy, Odyssey and Program but the problem persists. Any ideas?

That means the smoke fan motor is having an issue. Not uncommon. Press "Reset". That's the zero touch button for TMCC. If the problem persists, reoccurs three times, then you have to send it in.
