Title: EZ Command Controller older one
Post by: kcsl3 on August 04, 2023, 04:04:13 PM
My Ez Command will not run my loco forward or back. It performs all of the sound functions just no movement.

Dear KC,
Try setting cv8 back to 8.
Good luck!

The 2nd hand locomotive is likely the source of the problems.  You don't know what kind of life it had before you got it, and many defective ones are dumped accordingly.

You need to try to locate another engine that is known to perform properly, and try running it with your EZ command, which is new and supposedly is trouble free.  If your test engine runs well, you'll know the problem is your secondhand engine. Which I suspect is the problem.
