While true, back to the old fact that there has not been any training. Or published documentation on these engine by Lionel. Plus you really can't stock parts under their model since most everything is model specific software. So the time involved far exceeds what they could reasonable charge. Your seeing a decision made a decade ago playout in a negative impact to the hobby. IMHO.
Now that you found the source of the short, you want to unplug it and then see if the rest of the engine functions still work fine. G
