Your decoder harness should have 2 wires for F1 (green) and F2(violet) that are loose. Did you wire them up ? If you did then go thru the mapping of the functions as per Digitrax manuals and the instruction sheet

In a new silver version(noDCC/sound) unit I am using a digitrax DH163PS decoder and can't get the ditch lights to work seperately from the front headlight. I have decoder pro, so I thought it should work easy, progrmed like I did my Athearn unit, funtion 1 turns on the ditch lights, 2 flashes them. Will this work the same way, did I do it wrong? HELP!!!
