I found this thread when I was looking for ideas after I experienced a very similar issue with my PS 2 loco. I am confessing to a very stupid mistake that hopefully will save someone much anguish with their issue. In my case, all indications were that it was not a battery issue. Using my z1000 controler, I attempted the reset(1 horn/5bells) to no avail in getting movement from the loco. Stuck in neutral with lights and sound. Using info in this thread I also confirmed that the loco was registering/detecting the direction button. My mistake, and what I was missing, was when I pressed horn I got bells and vice versa. I missed it for the longest time, hence no reset accured. I swapped +/- power on the rails, performed a reset and all is well. As an aside, I had just installed a proto coupler on the tender when this happened. I assumed I screwed something up. Perhaps I changed the polarity switch by mistake on the loco. Hope some of you found this amusing!
