The loco came without any reverse unit (originallyDelta) and so used the kit to fix it. The lamp holders on this loco have either the grey/orange or yellow/orange supply wires so the chassis is not used for their supply. These wires match up with the decoder wires exactly. The loco runs well using a Central Station 2 with latest software. The problem is the lights do not work. They are the later higher voltage lamps for digital. On analogue with a late White Marklin analogue controller the lamps do work fine. Any suggestions to get the lamps to work. Could it be the 60760 decoder. Would it be wise to get decoder programmer to look at the CVs. Thanks. Bryan

Nothing a decoder programmer can do. The lights should work when wired correctly and when F0 is activated. Originally Posted by: Bryan They are the later higher voltage lamps for digital. According to the spare part list, the 3496 originally came with the low voltage lamps E610040. They should work with digital, but may burn out early - and in the worst case damage the light channel. All is fine if your loco already has the higher voltage lamps E610080 with the red dot. Are there diodes connected to the lamps?

I have the later high voltage Marklin globes E610080. I have attached a multimeter to the grey/orange and yellow/orange and get no voltage with whatever I do on the CS. The lamps work in analogue, there are no diodes in the lamp circuits. I do not seem to get a light icon on the CS. All I get is a F 0 8 icon for the loco which is a new toggle icon with the latest software update. I have attached a photo of the CS screen, disregard the BR44 icon, I used this loco and changed to address 78 to get the 3496 running. This was in the instructions of the 60760 kit. Should there be a light icon on the CS screen. Should I try another loco which only has a light function and change it to the 60760 address 78. For example a 30000 loco in the CS database and use this. Regards Bryan

Lights are off by default and without an icon you cannot turn them on. Originally Posted by: Bryan Should I try another loco which only has a light function and change it to the 60760 address 78. For example a 30000 loco in the CS database and use this. That is one option. You could just open the configuration screen for the loco you have (wrench button), tap the F0 button, and select an icon for it. A button without symbol does nothing. If there is a symbol then pressing the button will notify the decoder. And since the lights work in analogue operation, this should be the solution.
