1). Do put batteries in. They do not charge, so use a good alkaline or better.
2). When you power down the engine, does the sound also turn off on 2028. If not, you ir’s are not passing through the whole consist.
3). At this point if all is good, do the steps I listed above, when I first responded.
4). If not, there is documentation on disassembly on their website. Disconnect the cat plug from PCB and run up to 9 volts to the cat motor. You may have a bind or limit switch not making properly.
