OK, now I'm confused.
I bought a new computer power supply from Newegg to use for accessories. Followed the instructions provided earlier by one of the group to convert it for the railroad. I jumpered the green and black wires and the fans came on just fine when I turned the switch on. Checked voltages with a meter and they were right on 12 volt, 5 volt and 3.3 volt. All is good...and then...
I built a mounting for it and set up for fuse holders and got ready to solder the yellow, red and orange wires to the fuse holders. NOTHING was changed, but now, when you turn PS on, it runs the fans for about 2 seconds and then they stop. No voltages. Turn it off, wait a minute or so, turn it back on, and again, it will run the fans for about 2 seconds and then they stop.
What the heck happened? Has this thing already failed?
