cruise lite/LED lighting

Are you "sure" the LED's and diodes are in the correct polarity?  Typically, the headlight flashing on and immediately off again at power up is reverse polarity on the LED.  The diode anode (no stripe) should be to the ground, and the diode cathode (stripe) should be to the positive lead of the LED.  The negative lead of the LED goes to the headlight/taillight output.  Obviously, besides the LED, you need a current limiting resistor, I use 470 ohm resistors, they can be anywhere in the circuit.

John, Thank you so much, the neophytes here on this forum are at a loss without your expertise. I reversed the leads to the  CC Lite and all is good, the LEDS I am using came pre-wired with the resistor. I went with the red lead to the headlight outputs, simple mistakes for simple people.

Thank you again for the bail out,

Ray

Love the easy ones.

I am feeling a little nervous here, might I be catching on? Does the Cruise lite supply DC to the lamps?

The ERR cruise and cruise lite both use the R2LC/R4LC TMCC receiver.  The RxLC lighting outputs supply half-wave track power in command mode (ground positive) and full-wave track power in conventional mode.  The smoke output is half-wave track power in command mode (ground negative), and full-wave track power in conventional mode.

Thank you

Ray

GRJ, What does it mean when you say “ ground positive and “ground negative,” in command mode?

The TMCC lighting and smoke outputs are referenced to frame ground.  When I say "ground positive", that means that the half-wave track power (which makes it DC), is positive ground and the lighting output is the negative side.
