<p>Do you have a multivoltmeter?  If so remove the decoder, place the chassis on a separte section of track (connected to nothing else) and check continuity between each rail and each motor lead.  You should have nothing when you check the motor leads with the decoder removed and no shorting pin installed.  This should narrow down where the short is occuring.</p>
