Have over 50 Z-stuff switch motors on the layout. All work fine ... except the latest one. Wired it just like the others that do not use a relay. Everything works; right/left throws, non-derailing, lights on controller work ... BUT the lights on the switch motor stay dark UNLESS the wheelset of a car is sitting ON the non-derailing isolated rail piece, then the correct light will light and stay on as long as the wheelset is sitting on the isolated rail. It throws the switch correctly to re-align it, but the lights just won't work as advertised. Switched the LEDS around, re-oriented them (flat side thing for polarity), replaced them, replaced the controller, switched the controller lights back and forth, still no lights on the switch motor. One other strange thing; the controller works opposite of MOST of the others ... right button activates left light, and vice versa. And the wire is a different color on one of the posts on the controller. White instead of green for "R".
Thought it might be like one other button I had a problem with; the "R" wire really went to "L" inside the controller; worked opposite of what one would think.
Have now spent 7 hours on it over 3 different days on this cursed switch/controller.
Ready to just have one non-lighted switch on the layout ... no idea what to try to fix it having exhausted the above diagnosis process.
Any idea what I'm screwing up to make this happen and how to fix it so it works like the rest of them?
Thank you!!
