I have an Athearn Diesel (GP60) double flywheel. and cannot get Digitrax DH142 connected without a short.. have gray wire from bottom of eng. to gray from decoder, orange from top clip (engine) to orange on decoder. white from (only) light bulb to white on decoder, wired from bulb holder clip to blue on decoder. wire from front right side wheel clip to red on decoder and wire from rear wheel clip (it is on right side too) to black from decoder. It shorts out. switching the front for rear wheel clip wires - still shorts out.. it is wired exactly as in Digitrax DH142 diagram... what did I do wrong??? <br /> <br />thanks <br /> <br />Ken
