Reply to "Powermaster not Receiving Signal from Legacy Base"

Mike:
Lights indicate no issues.

Did some investigating last night. Might have been due to a severe storm - I re-programed all three powermasters (gave them new ID #'s). Tracks 1 and 3 started working but track 2 was still dead. Tracks 1 and 3 have only one power wire going through their respective PM's to various terminals. Track 2 has 2  power wires. From the PM one goes to terminals then straight to track. The other goes to toggle switches for isolated spurs. Since tracks 1 and 3 work I know the powermasters are good so I did the following: (common ground for every thing)
1. Connected track 1 wire to track 2 PM - did not work
2. Connected track 2 wire that goes straight to track to track 1 PM - started working
3. Connected track 2 wire that goes to toggle switches to track 1 PM - track turns on then immediately turns off with no indication on PM or power brick that a short exists.

Looks like I got 2 problems I need to investigate further -
1. Appears the track 2 PM is shot but I have no way of testing it
2. I need to trace wires going to and from the toggle switches.

PS - all three power bricks are good. I tested the voltage from each
