#1 attempt to blow the horn repeatedly (don't hold the button, but instead multiple rapid presses) to ensure the engine is responding before and passing through the problem area. If you see the headlight blink or it just stops responding- then you have a TMCC reception problem.
#2 Walk over if possible and place your hand just above the engine where it stopped. Your hand can increase the signal and if the engine now responds where it did not before you have a reception problem. Again do not touch the engine, but placed just above it.
#3 Ensure your base power supply is grounded (power supply has a 3rd ground pin) and is plugged into a know grounded outlet.
#4 You may need to run a ground wire (actual earth ground) wire to increase signal strength in that area.
