Reply to "MTH Premier PS-1 engine won't charge battery"

Before you go buying a board, I have a set of PS1 MTH NP F3s that I wanted to convert to TMCC. I put it on the track, it moved three feet, then when I cycled the power, started the clank. My two brothers that are MTH fanbois said I should replace the battery, so I bought a Tenergy 9V. Still clanks. Based on what I have read, the chip needs to be reset.

I am now stuck on what are the four wires that pass thru the connectors. Two are the rear coil coupler, but what are the other two, and could I convert one of them to center rail, and if so, where would I put a polyfuse. Kinda stuck on should I get a reset kit, trace out the wires, or just go for it. Wild guess is they have something to do with the lighting. Also need to take apart the middle B unit to see what happens in there. Also what if someone in the future hooks up a non-converted.

Once I get past that, you can have the boards.
