Reply to "ProtoSound engine won't move forwards"

Thanks for the reply Alan.

I have never unlocked the reversing function for this engine through the ProtoSound reset options, and the feature is locked by default. Also, (if I understand the direction lock feature correctly) locking either forwards or backwards makes the engine completely skip that 'gear'. With my engine, the forwards gear is still selectable in the cycle (neutral, forward, neutral, reverse, ect...) but the engine just sits still with the lights on while making no chugging noise.

As for the battery, I charge them regularly and charged it last night for a while as well. No change. I've had to replace numerous batteries on multiple engines over the years and the behavior with a dead battery has never been this specific.

The engine start up procedure is working correctly as it has for the last 20 years that I've owned it. The two dings sound off at the start, and the engine makes sound for the usual 3 or 4 seconds after power is interrupted. 

The only issue is the lack of forward movement. All other functions are perfect as far as I can tell.
