K-Line K-25301. In neutral, the marker lights illuminate, but go out in forward. Is this normal? Or do I have a PCB problem?

Some models have directional headlights and markers, perhaps this is one of them. Do they go out in reverse? I would expect they would stay on.
they go out in forward & reverse, work only in neutral
One of my Lionel steamers did that. My fix for it was an AUX1 then 0 reset and the problem went away. That might be worth a try. Very rarely they will still go out going over some of my switches but the reset always bring them back on.
I'd start with the reset Nelson mentions, but the sequence for a diesel is.
- Power off
- PGM/RUN switch to PGM
- ENG, ##, SET
- AUX1, 8
- Power off
- PGM/RUN switch to RUN
If that doesn't do it, I'd be looking for a wiring flaw. When current is being drawn, it appears you're losing power to the markers.
I don't have TMCC at home. I am taking the engines to a train show where our modular group is setting up. Oct 3 & 4. I will report back what happens
Thanks Nelson & Gunrunner, I did the reset & the marker lights & headlights are working correctly
I always like a happy ending! (Especially where lights or smoke is concerned.)
