Dear samiboy29,

Hope this helps.

We need a little more detail. How is your track configured,do you have any reverse loops ,is your controller beeping and blinking really fast (shorted ). Are they DCC with the decoder or do you control them with switches. If you can post a picture of your layout it would help.

I noticed on your youtube video that you are using Dynamis now. Are you trying to program the crossovers? Here is a link for that.

Everything looks OK. Is it the whole layout is dead or just the two crossovers. Did you check to see if the track is getting voltage with a multi-meter.

Take your time and learn how to use the Bachmann forums. There is a lot of very good info here and you can find a lot of good info by searching the forums. Much of the time you can find your answer sooner. Yes, I know, some just want to start a conversation which is ok also.
Since you have taken time to learn how to use a PC and sign up for this forum, you can do it.
You can also store a particular thread in Favorites and have it in the future. I have done that a few times.

samiboy29: Are you running  DC or DCC ?   The part # you gave for your crossovers are standard remotes and must be powered by  AC  current .  What kind of power supply are you using ?

Have you made any progress? Keep us informed so others can learn from this.
I have the same crossover's and they work great. By the way that is a nice video of your layout on youtube.
