ERR board reset

Wondering if you installed the ERR board or did you get it with the ERR board already installed? I ask because I just picked up a Weaver GP9 and want to add Cruise Commander and sound but I can not figure out how to remove the shell.

Do you have any suggestions on what is the best way to install the ERR board?

Thanks

The directional lights are controlled by the R4LC, did you also include the AUX1-8 in the reset sequence to set the engine type?

Ray, a friend who is a Lionel tech installed them. Can you post a picture of the underside?

No I did AUX1-6. That is what I found on the code chart in the Cruise Commander 4.1 instruction manual. It reset the lights on the Weaver, but when I reset the Williams, the lights came on, but they were dim. This Saturday I'm going to I Love Toy Trains-The Country Store to run trains and my Lionel tech friend will be there. He installed it so I'll have him look at. Everything else works fine.

That should have worked, but I'd try the AUX1-8 to see if that helps.  AUX1-6 turns the smoke output into a cab light controllable using the smoke keys, but the directional lighting should keep working.

Denny, ERR Diesel engines use one of three reset codes. All should toggle the head and taillights. Aux1 5 is used if you have a strobe/mars light. Aux1 6 is used to toggle either cab or marker lights. Aux1 8 is used if you have a smoke unit. Use the one that best fits your engine.

The lights did come on when I reset the Williams, but they won't switch when I put it in reverse and they are dim. The Weaver works fine for now.

Can you turn them off with AUX2?  If so, it sounds like there's a problem with the wiring.

Using any of the diesel reset codes mentioned above should toggle the headlight and reverse light. Only if you use Aux1 4 which is for steam engines does the headlight stay on in reverse. Might be time to check the wiring.

The wiring is fine. I followed the instructions to the letter. I even triple checked it. Keep in mind it's just the Williams doing this, the Weaver is fine. I'm starting to thing it may be a circuit problem. Either way, I'm turning it over to my Lionel tech friend who I will see this Saturday. I have too much nerve damage to mess with a circuit board.

Before that I'd simply swap the R4LC with another and see what you get.
