ES 44ac American flyer not responding

I assume the whistle and bell also work if the couplers fire. First and easiest thing to check is verify that the Train Brake slider on the Cab2 is in the full up (minus) position. If it is down toward the "plus" position the engine will not move from a stop.

You can also reset this loco.    Page 28 of your owners manual describes method if you are using Legacy.  

Also check page 46 of the manual for the Info button to see if you are in the Legacy mode.  

If none of the above works then try it in conventional mode with no legacy signal present. Just confirm the locomotive will move forward and backward.

I went for the simplest one first I tried the engine  in conventional; no legacy  connected.

it did the same thing as when it was on Legacy, powered up rpm came up but no movement

the marker light are on same as with legacy.

tomorrow I will try the other suggestions.

It's starting to smell more like a problem with your BEMC board.  It controls the motors in both Legacy and conventional modes.  Since your couplers and sounds are working it appears like your radio board is receiving signals.  However, those signals are not being converted into motion via the BEMC.

Please provide the Lionel product number for your ES44AC.

the ES44AC product number is 2021072 it is a road name GE 2012.

I went thru making sure it was in Legacy and it was. I also tried the reset but it does not appear to reset do not get any feed back that it  has done anything.

Also as I stated the couplers  work but  the horn and bell do not , the couplers F&R is the only response I get from the engine.

Engine should still be under warranty? I would call Lionel.

Good luck

i called customer service today and told them the story they gave me a RMA number to sent it back! I  must say I was impressed with the call they listened and did what I thought was the right thing a big improvement from a  few years back. where the person said to me that it would be 6 month before we could get to it, I could not believe it; and never sent the Legacy controller back I just purchased a new one!

so good job Lionel thanks for listening to your customers!
