Soundtraxx Decoder Driving me Insane

Hi everyone!

Last night I installed an Eco-PNP into my Stewart FT. Everything worked great. It ran around the layout for about 6 hours. I took it off the layout and put it back in its display case and went to bed. This morning I set it back on the track, the headlight comes on kind of dim. The prime mover fires up. But I have no control. Occasionally the mars light will flicker but other than that it will just idle.

Here is what I have tried

-Resetting the command station
-resetting the decoder (blue pilot light on the board turns on as well as the headlight and then shuts off) (on programming track)
-checking speedsteps
-verifying wiring is correct
-decoder was never locked and appear to be taking programming commands
-no red error light, just no response

Where do I go from here?

Thank you,

Dugen
 
Wish I could be of more help, but you've already tried everything that I could think of.
Contact Soundtraxx and see what they say. I've found them to be pretty responsive.

The blue light being on shows that there's track power running to the decoder and then no blue light that shows the decoder is not receiving power. Look for a loose or broken wire to the decoder or lack of power to the track.

Second did you do the correct reset for this brand of decoder?
