Just tried the remote and it does not work. A few weeks ago I saw a bit of smoke coming from the Power Distribution Board. It turned out that the Falcon3D aftermarket engine lights overloaded the normal engine light circuitry. That problem has since been dealt with. When I tried the remote, I got no response. I am running with an external power pack. I do not get the led to light on the power distribution board indicating that power is on. It does flash momentarily when the power is turned off. Both A and B switches work but they do not do the operations they are meant for. Both buttons A and B operate the lighting and the ramp. Multiple pressing of switch B does turn the lights on and off with the ramp remaining open. According to the instructions for the remote, the ramp is supposed to be operated by switch A and the lighting, switch B.

This is not happening. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Getting another Control board looks like it will be almost impossible.

Thanks in advance.

All extra and additional lighting should always be powered by a separate circuit board. Only the supplied lighting should be attached the the supplied power board. It is only designed to operate the supplied lighting and adding additional lighting could damage the circuitry.
