Help - Wiring repair for Lionel 52189 4-6-4 Hudson Monopoly Engine

[rsedgley]

I have a loose wire in the Tender for my L-52189 4-6-4 Hudson Monopoly Engine that is preventing TMCC to run.
I can not figure out where the loose contact point would be on the electronics board within the tender.
I'm hoping someone here on the forum can point me in the correct direction.

I have a photo of the situation below.

I looked this up in one of my books and it seems that this engine did not come with TMCC so I guess you had it installed.

This what I found:
52189 Monopoly 1999 1-Can motor, Traction Tires, Eastwood exclusive.
52219 Monopoly 2000
52225 Monopoly 2001

I read where you were going to replace the R2C board and if you have I was wondering did that fix your issue.
Here is link for the service manual for the 8000 series Hudson.

Wyatt - My 52189 came "Command & Railsounds Ready". I'm looking to upgrade now. I got confused when I saw the "Prog/Run" switch on the underside. Ted has tested with a spare R2LC he had and had the eingine running under TMCC last night.

Thanks for the link to the service manual.

You are welcome for the link on the manual. I am glad it is all coming together for you on the engine. :)
