DCC - Programminga locmotive from button 3 to another button

[tevans1947]

I'm trying to re-program one of my DCC N-scale locomotives from button 3 to another position.  I THINK I'm following instructions (run locomotive a little, press 3 and stop together, press desired setting button, press stop), but it's not working - for either locomotive.  Suggestions?

The key to successful programming a locomotive's address using the Bachmann E-Z Command Control Center (Item No. 44902) is the sequence in which buttons are pressed, when a button is held down and when the button is released.


Read all of the following instruction before you start.

  1.  Press and release address button 3
  2.  Activate the locomotive by running a short distance and bring the locomotive to a stop.
  3.  Press and hold down button 3
  4.  Press and release the STOP button
  5.  Release 3 button - the Power LED is flashing rapidly
  6.  Press and release the button for the new address for the locomotive. The locomotive moves slightly to indicate decoder response and the power LED is now flashing slowly. The movement of the locomotive is slight so you may not notice it.
  7.  Press and release the STOP button.

The locomotive is now ready to run using its new address.
