Aristo Revolution in K-27?

[Kevin Strong]

I'm installing Aristo's Revolution in a K-27, and have stumbled on some issues that perhaps someone here may be able to help with...

First, when plugging the Revolution board straight into the plug-and-play socket, it seems that the headlights have opted to stop working. They work great under regular track power, but with the Revolution board in place, they don't come on at all. (Neither do the markers, firebox, or cab lights.)

Now, I'd prefer to use the accessory controls on the Aristo decoder to control the markers (class lights) and cab lights. These lights are designed to be controlled via a DCC controller, so one might assume that they can similarly be wired to the Aristo board for independent control, too. What I would think would be the common-sense route to accomplish this doesn't seem to work. Any thoughts?

I'm hoping to avoid gutting the entire socket and internal electronics to do this, since I like the concept of the plug-and-play socket.

Later,

K
