I'm building a new layout and ran into an issue with my TIU. The TIU was working for 8 months with no issues then I noticed that when I turned the smoke on for my MTH K4 PS2 the headlight would go out. I decided to reset my remote to see if this would fix the issue with no luck. I upgraded both the TIU and remote to v5.00 but still had the issue. I then chose to delete the TIU from the remote and add it back in to reset everything. However, after I deleted the TIU 1 from the remote I was unable to add it back in.
I've tried:
- Resetting the remote
- Reloading v5.00 to the TIU
- Reloading v5.00 onto the remote (with no luck, unable to find the remote now)
After combing through the forum posts I noticed that the TIU would change its address on every reset (between 1 and 16). I've tried reloading the TIU v5.00 firmware, this reset the TIU to address 1 as expected (1 blinking light) but I'm still not able to connect to it via the remote on TIU 1 even with a tether. After power cycling the TIU it continues to have a random address.
I only have x1 remote, x1 TIU and x1 MTH loco to work with and the nearest hobby shop that could help is ~3 hours away.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
