I was reprogramming some CV's in my Alco RS-3 and somehow lost the head lights? Everything works great but the headlights won't come on now? Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
Also does anyone have the CV values/defaults for the RS-3?

Thanks

Start over by resetting the Sound Value decoder since it is not known what you did that created the situation.

Resetting the Sound Value decoder CVs to their factory default value is a two-step procedure.

   1)  Program CV 8 to 8 (can use either Service Mode or Operations Mode programming)
   2)  Cycle power to the decoder by turning power to the track off and back on

After about six-seconds upon restoring power the headlight and backup light will blink simultaneously 16 times indicating that the CVs were successfully reset. However, if sound or lights come on immediately upon restoring power, the decoder did not successfully reset. Repeat the two-step procedure.
