Reply to "ERR Cruise Commander M and a Lionel TMCC N&W J 611, Installation Issues"

I went through the same with my my J. Mine was a runaway at one point as well.

Unplug pin 10 (the one furthest from the heat sink) on the Cruise M and put heat shrink on it. I pulled the 10 pin and removed the wire from the 10 pin and the associated plug on the mother board.

On the 4 pin from the motherboard to the Cruise M, unpin the pink wire and put heat shrink on it. I then used the wire I removed from the 10 pin and put in the 4 pin from the Cruise M to the 4 pin on the motherboard. Looking down on the Cruise M with the heat sink closest to you, the wire will go in the far right position on the motherboard too.

In the pictures I attached the pink wire is still hooked up. It will run this way, but I found issues with it. Do not run it with the pink wire in place.

Motherboard 4 pin:

Yellow, Black to IR, Blue, Black

Cruise M:

Yellow, Nothing (pink used to live here, went to IR), Blue, Black

Call me if need be.

So if I'm understanding correctly, you essentially removed the DC regulator from the equation and directly connected the CC to the 4 pin plug on the motherboard?
