john, I found out that it must be the board. the incadescents are staying on now also. The headlight burned out on me not long ago before I was doing this project. and when I put a good bulb harness on, it lit very bright, almost smoking and then the bulb got toasty. I had tried also the firebox light harness. also stayed lit after the engine was turned off. So something is going on and allowing full current to leak out. I will try a voltage meter on the plug ends to see what it is. But, wow, must be full track current. I also tried to turn off the lights with Remote. nothing.
Is this worth fixing? or should can I replace the 5 volt board with a PS2/3 board. board is in engine. should I maybe get a new PS3 steam kit?
