I have 24 Fastrack CC switches on my layout, all of which were working fine.
I permanently removed Switch #17 from the layout and slightly changed the track configuration and added a new switch in a close-by location that I'd like to number as New Switch #17, but it will not program. The lantern keeps blinking, but pressing the set button on the Cab-2 does not stop it. It is not the system because I just added new switch #24 and it programed just fine.
Any thoughts ?

Where did you put old #17? The system will not let you program 2 switches with the same number. Reprogram old 17 to something different, like 40. Then program new 17.
If you need 2, or more, with the same number, like a crossover, you have to put both in the program mode and set them at the same time.
The old switch was in my spare parts bin, so I powered it up and reset it to #77 and then the new switch took #17.
Thanks.
Actually, you can program as many switches to one TMCC ID as you like. I used to have a Fastrack setup, and I had several pairs of switches programmed to the same ID for crossovers.
TMCC is a one-way communication, the command system doesn't know how many TMCC ID's are duplicates.
