I posted this question in the discussion of "Can I use an LCRU2 to Run a DC Motor", but on second thought fell it should be a separate question.
I've been using Carl's (See above referenced post) wiring diagram to run DC motors with a LCRU for close to 10 years now.
Suddenly i've run into a problem: i've added an ERR Sound Commander to the circuit in two identical locos (GG1's) and have developed a problem in only ONE of them. In one installation everything works (start-up sounds, horn, bell; directional lighting; and engine runs perfectly). However in the second installation with the Sound Commander connected i get ONLY start-up sounds (NO horn or bell) and the engine will NOT move NOR change directional lighting -- disconnect the Sound Commander and the engine runs as it should.
Any ideas before i call ERR tomorrow??
