UPDATE TO WHAT WAS DISCOVERED. The O48 turnout had one wire that was loose. I took the O60 switch back to the store I purchased from. For that switch we took the plate on the bottom off and after 45 minutes of tracing wires discovered two sets of wires backwards from the gear area to the motherboard. We swapped them, that fixed the red/green light on the hand throw but the non detailer was still not working properly, so the switch is going back to Lionel and I should receive a new one In a few weeks, I hope.
Case closed on these issues, thanks for everyone's advice. Nick T.
