Hello, friends. I am a fan of DCS and all the animated accessories available. How do I wire into the transformer and AIU any of MTH's 5 contact accessories (gas station, car wash, fire station, etc.) to separate lighting in one independent ACC port and the operation of the animation into a separate ACC port ? It would be helpful to tell me what goes to where starting at the A,B,C,D and E accessory terminal Z-clips. This is probably a basic question for all you electrical gurus out there. Barry's Bible is not specific, and the AIU and DCS manuals are not detailed enough. Finally, calling MTH resulted in a response after a 20 minute wait of "it's too complicated...call back next week." VERY DISAPPOINTED in the "customer service" line.

Anyone out there willing to offer advice? Thanks in advance.

Car Wash Manual Page 2, first paragraph,see "Wires from ports A-C
control the car operation. Wires from ports D-E control the lights. Follow
the diagram (Fig 1) shown to make the correct connections."

For lights on all the time connect D and E to you 14V lighting circuit with E to Common/outside track/black and D to lighting voltage.

In the AIU Mnaual from MTH see hook up diagrams for car wash on Page 11.   There's also a note that you can operate lights and operation separately.

Please feel free to ask for more detail.
