I have a Lionel Reading GP 30 it has TMCC, but I was running it in conventional. I placed the battery back up in the rear of the engine and now the rear LED headight is not working. When I placed a small amount of pressure on it with my finger the light would turn on. There is very little room in the shell to see what is going on. Any suggestions on how to repair the light?
Thank You!

Try tracing the wire that comes from the light and see where it goes. Either to a circuit board or to a contact that has a spring that then makes contact with a copper plate. In my experience with the latter it usually is spring contact needs to be slightly expanded to make contact with the copper plate.
Hi Ed New Haven,
Thanks for your help and suggestion. I will give it a try. Have a good evening!

Let me know if you traced the light problem to either the wire going to the circuit board or to a spring that makes contact with a copper plate mounted on a plastic board that sits on the locomotive frame.
