I installed a mini-commander in a tender so that I can use it as an aux tender. I'm having a couple of problems I hope someone can help me with.
First, I cannot get the front headlamp to light. I tried to follow the mini-commander instructions, and have the lights wired correctly. What I cannot seem to do is get the mini-commander to enter setup mode so that I can set the proper function for the L2 socket. Does anyone have advice on how to set it such that I have both front and rear lights?
Second, I would like to make a lashup so that the tender's rear coupler fires instead of the locomotive's, and also so that the direction lights are appropriately lit. I need to do the lashup with a Legacy locomotive. I've tried setting the tender as an AUX tender, and also as a Diesel in the Legacy remote. When in the lashup, the tender does not respond to any commands. I am not sure if a TMCC control board can be in a lash up with a Legacy one. Can they? If yes, then does anyone have any idea how to get these to work properly together?
Thanks for any help!
