Reply to "ERR Cruise Commander mosfets and bridge rectifier get hot"

Probably too late for that John, it's getting hot not connected to anything.   That's an almost sure sign that one or more FET's have bit the dust and are shorted.

Pardon...I'm new to posting here.  I didn't respond correctly in my previous post.  What I previously said:

I've ordered some replacement mosfets and I'll report back one I repair them.  Hopefully that is the issue.  I may have caused the issue myself (thinking about what you said about the chassis ground...that makes the most sense) since it is an MTH locomotive I was reusing the 10 pin pcb and I think I might have dripped solder across the connections...grounding out the engine leads.  I did test all of the pins for continuity but maybe I missed something.  Regardless, I have another pcb that is clean that I'm going to try out...the old one had a short anyways.  I should have swapped it from the get-go.
