OK, Under the "20 minute test", you would use the decoder separate of the engine. So, the black and red wire would connect to the Power Pro and the Grey and Orange wire would connect to the track. From what you have told me so far, you are well beyond that. That is something you do with an engine that doesn't have a decoder in it and you just want to make sure that the system is working. When you took your procab and hit program so that the screen showed programming track, then the engine should be on the programming track completely isolated from the main. At the same time the led on the Power pro should be blinking. If the deocder ran for a few minutes and then stopped, either the decoder is bad, or you have a problem with the power leads to the track for both normal operation and well as the power leads to the programming track. Hence the request to meter the power output. Hope this clears that up.
