Good Day,
I have experience many times in the past with SD70ACe's that the wires connecting to the trucks were not secure and many times had a lose connection. This required a more secure fit.
...........and on several MTH engines I had in the past...........the screws were missing to secure the electrical pickup wire to the truck.
Regards,
Swafford

I have to admit Frank, that the MTH SD70M-2 EMD demo you got had more than one problem. It had a weak board, shorting wire from missing insulator inside the truck, and a rubbing wire, are just what I remember!

I can't say though, whether the board was damaged from the shorting inside the truck or a bad component. I put all the guts into another engine. To this day it still runs. You really got a bad one!!!
