Do not connect the turnout switches to the DC, connect to the Accesory terminals, which are AC. 

Your turnouts came with a small combination slide/momentary switch.  To activate, slide one way and press the button once and release.  Move slide the other way and repeat the push and release.  Do not hold the button down.

No problem with the spelling, but your questions would be easier to read if you used proper Capitalization and Punctuation.  Slow down, you'll live longer.
Good luck
