I just changed the batteries in my Lionel CAB-1 and now it does not seem to work at all. Batteries are in correctly and batt all check OK for voltage. Something I have forgotten?

Make sure the bats are fitting in correctly, the bat holder on that unit has a tight fit and sometimes the bats may not have a good connection. Put the old bats back in and make sure the unit beeps when buttons pushed, if so you will have to play around with the new bats when in the holder.
also sometimes the tops of the batteries are a little higher or lower then the contact allowed cheek close and if need be measure at battery ends and also metal plates on remote to make sure your reading the actual voltage at the contacts in the remote! batteries are not always the same exact height depending on the different manufactures you purchase!
Thank you for your help. I reinstalled the batteries and the cover snapped into place. It seems to work now!!!
