I have a 3rdRail steam locomotives with a bad chuff switch that I wanted to replace with a reed switch in the tender. I bought the chuff magnet and reed switch kit from ERR/3rdRail. Everything is connected and powered as the diagram indicates, except that I disconnected  the “Chuff In” on the Cruise  Commander board. Prior to adding power, I got a good continuity from the reed switch and  magnet while rotating the tender wheels. Also, I had continuity from the included JST on the sound board. However, connecting the reed switch leads to the sound board, adding power, all other TMCC sounds works except the sensor trigger from the reed switch.

First thing I would do is checking the connections. It is very easy to be one screw to far and poof nothing.
