OK, here's a stumper. Digitrax DCC system. JMRI Decoder Pro.
I installed a Tsunami 2200 in a U25 diesel locomotive. The lights that were in the model flashed real quick when I first applied power to it then didn't work after that. I measured the voltage of the white and yellow leads and it's about 14 volts. The bulbs must have been low power LEDs. I replaced them with 3 mm, 12 volt LEDs with resistors. They light up but I can't turn the backup light off and the headlight only dims a little when the loco is in reverse. I used the JMRI Decoder Pro to toggle them to LED but still no change in the function.
Measuring the voltage at the leads with the LEDs removed shows about 14 volts that goes to zero when the lights are turned off or the loco direction is changed.
What the heck is going on here?
