None of the wires on the switches I installed touch the chassis at all. Everything is insulated. I followed the switch installation instructions in the PS2 conversion manual to a T. I did check to make sure the plugs were fully seated in the board but everything was tight. Like I said no derailments or shorts occurred when running the engine, which is why this is baffling to me.
Is it possible the tether between the engine and tender could cause the issue? I don't have to wiggle it to make the locomotive turn back on again though. I know that when the whistle is operated using a postwar ZW I have to push the button about half way to operate the whistle, and the locomotive slows down. Could that have hurt something on the board? That has never hurt any other MTH/Lionel TMCC/Railsounds locomotive I own, but maybe the PS2 electronics are more sensitive?
