I tried Bryant's tricks. Didn't work for me. 1. flipped program/run switch back and forth about 15 times (sorry, my figures got tired), 2. powered down the track, 3. put engine on track, 4. powered up the track, 5. Put PA in program mode, 6. Used the number already assigned to the engine and hit "set." As usually, it fires right up with great sounds. Checked the front coupler, works fine. 7. Tried flipping the program/run switch back a forth a few times, 8. Turned Engine off with the CAB2. 8. Turned engine on again with the CAB2, 9. Works fine, until, 10. Turned engine off with CAB2, 11. Powered down the track, 12. Powered up the track, 13. Tried to power up the engine, dead as the dodo, as usual. Last night I sent a message to Lionel's "TalktoUS" center. Usually they respond by the next morning. This time, no response. I have never thought the PA was better looking than an EMD E (Nose too long, body too short for me) but these Lionel PAs do sound great. But even the great sound is not enough to keep $1,700 worth of bad electronics.
