I have a PS3 steam engine that was running fine. The running gear slipped and jammed. After a couple tries, I got it line up correctly and she ran fine. Last night I went to run her again, and issues. Two remotes, and the Wi-Fi app couldn’t find her. So, I deleted her from the remotes, tried re-adding, and no engine to add. Tried different tracks, same result.

I tried to figure out how to do a factory reset, but can’t if loco isn’t in the remotes or app.
I powered everything down, left TIU’s off, and tried conventional. She ran a foot or so forward, no sound or lights, stopped and went into reverse on her own. Seconds later, sound and lights came on. Whistle, horn work off Z4000 buttons. Direction button cuts power but doesn’t change direction.

Wireless bar appears to be seated on both loco and tender.

Anyone have any ideas?

when you repaired the slipped gear if you disturbed the ac wires and put them on top the the ps 3 board that will kill your dcs signal you CAN'T HAVE THE AC Black AND RED WIRES ON TOP OF THE TOROID COIL THATS WHERE THE DCS SIGNAL IS LOCATED!!!! and the capacitors must be folded over flat on the top of the board
