[:(] This might be a little long in telling but I believe it is necessary

I have been using the Digitrax Empire Builder for about 4 years. I have had
different types of problems including electrical shorts of one kind or another
and managed to get everything working again usually from using search on
a number of different MRR forums.

Today, after about 5 weeks of absence I finally made it to the train room. I turned on the power and ran several different engines, after 10 mins I lost
all power, and the idicator light, on the DB 150, for being off line was RED.
I did the usual things to find a short without solving the problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I finally disconnected all wires from the track and I still have a short/ off line
indicator light being on.

I have used a different power pack, different connecting wires and STILL the
RED light stays on. Can someone give me any ideas on how to solve this
problem (riddle
