Looking for help debugging my Lionel UP Genset 6-28314.  The engine responds to legacy control, ie movement, direction, couplers, lights.  However, I get no sound from the unit.  Well I would say I get a periodic tick/crackle from the speaker.  When I hit the horn the frequency increases but no actual sounds.  I have done the reset, the reprogram, and the factory reset to no avail, and rotated the volume pot.  Still no sounds.  I have reseated the RS6 board and the RS power board, no luck.  i even tried the sound board and RS power board in an early legacy berkshire and both work.  My berk sound like a genset, so the board seem fine.  I checked all connections and they seem fine.  One thing I notice is when I hit the horn button I do get some flicker of the cab lights at the same time.

I would greatly appreciate any info that may help me to figure this issue out.  An no, the sounds never worked.  This is brand new in the box from the factory.

Thanks for your help.

Marty, I did the reset with #2 for the diesel as you elaborated, no luck.  Tried it numerous times, even with CAB1.  The RS power board I grabbed one out of my Pere Marquette Berk, no luck.  Even tried putting the genset power board in the Berk and the berk still worked.  Seems the RS6 board and RS power board seem to be good.  Could it be a bad motherboard, or is there some ground or signal wire from the RCDR board?

Thanks
