Reply to "No DCS signal on one side of layout"

Just went and swapped the wiring from one side of the layout to the other.  No change.  Maybe the next thing is to disconnect all the wiring from the defective side of the layout from the terminal block and retire it.  Don't what else to try.

Did you swap all the wires from one output to the other output (say Var1 and Var2 since I'm not sure what you are using) and then test?

Hi Dave, good to hear from you.  No other cars or locos on that side of the layout. Just 2 powered blocks, one for each handle.  No signal at all on one side of the layout.  I think my next move will be to ensure that the two sides of the layout are indeed isolated from each other, tear apart the terminal blocks and reconnect each feed one at a time and see if that will solve the problem.

If you turn one handle to zero does the entire layout still have power?

Which inputs/outputs on the TIU are you using?

Is the TIU powered thru Fixed1 or the Aux port?

If you swapped the outputs does the side that did work now not have DCS?

A picture and a diagram would help.
