I went to run my lionel # 6-34598 powered a unit & the 6-34599 non powered unit ,i put the smoke on the powered unit & it worked fine ,then i put the smoke on the non powered unit & i got 3 blinking lights in the cab & the fan was making a noise ,so i opened it up & i put in a new fan motor ,now when i press the key on the legacy cab 2 to start the smoke unit it goes full power with just one press of the smoke key ,it got so hot that it melted the opening on the smoke funnel shut ,i know the voltage is to high but i don't see any voltage regulator wrapped in shrink wrap ,so i don't know what to look for ,is one of the boards fried ? ,if not what else can i look for as i have almost no knowledge of electronics ,the other question i have is when i took the smoke unit apart i unplugged the wire harness from the board { the picture with the pencil pointing to it },what i forgot to do was to remember which slot the harness goes to ,there are 2 places that it could be plugged into ,i think where it is now plugged into the right one because if i put it in the other spot i get 3 blinking lights in the cab ,so can anyone tell me if i have the harness in the right spot & what do i do about the voltage problem ? Please explain it if possible in the simplest terms & if possible with pictures would be a big help to me . Thanks in advance .
