DCS Channel not working

Been away from the trains and started up again and have a DCS problem.  Have 2 separate tracks upper/lower levels. Using Z-4000 transformer.  Fixed 1 for upper and 2 for lower level.  Ran train on lower level and was working but then slowed down and stoped.  Light flashing on transformer and I thought train was off track, but was not.  volts on transformer at 4.7 and light flashing when handle raised.  Checked all my connections to track and track itself but was not getting  power.  Finally narrowed it down to the fixed channel 2 in on the interface, which is my lower level.  Power from transformer to unit good, my upper level (fixed channel1) works fine. so power to channel 2 coming in is good the track from the fixed channel 2 is out.  Read in the manual that there are 20 amp fuses for the channels. Went to auto store got fuse and put in according to diagram in manual.  Nothing, still flashing light on transformer and when handle lifted, shows 4.7 volts as if a train is off the track.  So it seems to be that my channel 2 fixed out to track is not working at all.  What next ? any ideas out there what I can do to fixed the channel ?  Thanks.
