I got the WTIU updated ok (with fingers crossed) I then hooked it up to my program track as per instructions using MTH WiFi. The minute I put power to it, the circuit breaker trips on the Lionel power brick. I am at a loss, I checked and there are no shorts, so reasoning tells me it’s in the WTIU. Now on the old tiu I powered the tiu with brick track power. These instructions have using the power that’s included plus running the brick through it?

I'm not positive, but I believe the new WTIU needs to be powered via the PWR input with a 16-22V AC or DC power supply.
Check the fuses in the WTIU. They use a 15 amp blade fuse. if blown and it blows again when replaced, the TVS shorted. We just had one came back to MTH with two blown fuses and two shorted TVS's. The owner has a history of destroying stuff...
I did check the fuses, and all appear to be ok. When just having the power source that came with it plug in, by all the indicator lights, it boots up like it should, I just can’t run track power through it as instructed without popping the circuit breaker on the power brick.
