Help!! <br /> <br />I just purchased (4) switches, powered, Bachmann E-Z track, (2) left hand and (2) right hand. I have one of each hooked up so far. While on the straight through mode, the lh switch works fine, if I switch it to run my train off to the siding, everything on the track stops. It does not do this with the rh switch around the bend. If I let it set there for a couple of seconds, you can hear the circuit protection pop in the controller, let it sit for a couple of minutes and it resets. I've swapped out one switch for the other switch that I just bought and it does the same thing. I pulled off the back side, but I don't know what the heck I'm looking at. I am assuming that when I switch it, its causing a short. <br /> <br />What am I missing? <br /> <br />Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. <br /> <br />Jeff
