MTH 20-3321-1 tender marker lights inop

Pictures?

Open up the tender.  Show us some photos of the innards....esp the marker light wiring/terminations.

Can't imagine why a BCR installation would result in no marker lights...unless some wires were jostled loose in the process.

Agreed....what, indeed, does a hole drilled in the tender top have to do with a BCR installation?

This is a pic of the top of the tender as I opened the box my first impression was not going well so far.

I will open up the tender and snap some pictures. I always thought a BRC was just a battery replacement  but there seem to be more going on in there . I’ll post pictures asap

Thanks for the advise . It looks like I am stuck with this seeing that seller doesn’t want to know even know my name let alone take any responsibility for the issues

did you try a feature reset, that might make it work also try a conventual reset you should hear 2 whistle toots if the reset works !

Here are some pics of the inside all the electrical tape doesn’t make sense to me.

let me know what you think

i only have a test track set up with cw80 for power and dcs
My wife and I are in the middle of packing to move so I am very limited on what I can do .. test wise on my end

I do not know why they drilled a hole like that?  You need to get those exposed wires covered with heat shrink.  THe BCR is covered in tape, not really an issue.

Markers come off the 8 pin connector in the board.  They use a ten pin connector to jumper up to the shell controlls.

The feature reset or conv reset is a good recommendation.  After that you need to test the markers, see if they work.

Part of that tape was to protect wires from the middle shell post when putting back together.  Very easy to pinch a wire if your not careful.  G

Did photos on the ebay ad show that the tender had a whole in it?  If not, the item was not what was represented and you have every right to return it (or get a sizable refund) whether or not the seller wants to know your name.  Whatever happens, be sure to give the seller a negative review.

I set up a return and I guess I clicked I “changed my mind “ by clicking that .. mistake removes all liability from the seller and Ebay will not offer me a refund. The seller will not respond not even respond , I never asked for a discount just a honest response and answer to what was going on and what was done. All I got from him was it was tested before he listed it .

really upset  😕
