I’m not that advanced with the tools ( I don’t have a voltmeter and am using a PH-1 to the PM - 1 and have that wired to the “ U” post on the Command base . I am running straight auxiliary power from the CW-80 and have checked that’s nit the older one with the crossed common post .

I have in the past used the tubular 0-31 switches ( 6-62310- 6-62311) and they had the insulated pins to be used to isolate the switch from the track . Since the fast track switch doesn’t use the insulated pins , I thought that removing the track jumper did that same thing .

I have cut the center pins off of the switch to isolate it ( which is what I saw from another earlier post about this same problem .

Hope that gives some insight. I also viewed the link sent about removing the bottom plate on the switch and the crossed terminal wires from the factory , but I don’t know if I want to try and tackle that .
