lights on the rs3 aristo craft

[jlockwood]

I have a aristo craft rs3 with problems with the cab and number board lights.
I changed the head lights to the white leds and they work fine. they switch with the direction on the engine just fine. the others do not work at all.
any ideas
thanks
John

Hey there,
Have you tried contacting Aristocraft? Sounds like it may be a circuit board problem. Try their web site at www.aristocraft.com. All the best. Enjoy the forum! Later eh...Brian.

THE cab light should stay on for either direction , the other lights come on in the direction they are going, going front that light should come on , when you back it up that light comes on . if cab lights are not working you have a lose wire,or circuit board problem,did you get it back together with no problem??? I have two r-s-3 and I have another one comming in late JUNE new RR NAME. BEN

El Dumbo thought! When you cut the existing headlights out of the circuit, did you remember to put a jumper back in to complete the old circuit for the numberboards and cab light???? I ain't no electronic genius, but it would seem to me to be an easy boo boo to make!

I forget, did numberboards have thier own lights, or did they operate out of the side lobes of the headlight bulb? But then again, that wouldn't explain the cab light, so back to #1 idea![?][?]
