Looked through the engine and checked the connections. Via Johns pdf, everything is correct and properly routed. I did however notice the wires for power to the motor is in the j10 plug and not the j11 plug. Any concerns?
I next tried isolating the smoke units from the board. When both are unplugged nothing happens. However, the locomotive still does not respond. It also does not power on. I then connected the aux smoke unit (whistle) and the locomotive acted like it has been. I did the same procedure with the main smoke unit same response.
I finally checked to see if anything was grounding out inside the main smoke unit. Nothing.
It appears the smoke units have a direct correlation with the symptoms. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I’ll also post a photo of the RCMC so you all can see what I am looking at. Thanks again for the help.
