I bought a Bachmann ho scale SD70ACE from Amazon warehouse deals and the sound comes on but the loco does not move and the lights do not come on. How do I reset the loco so I can run it without a dcc controller? I do not have a dcc controller, just regular dc. I rather not have to send it in if I can avoid it.

You'll need to put it on a layout with DCC control to reset it. If you have a local MRR club or hobby shop, they may be able to do it for you.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.

With DCC sound decoders , on DC the loco won't start to move until around 7 volts or so. You will have a limited speed range.   Joe

Thew microprocessor does not wake up until the DC is about five volts.  Typical for digital IC's.
Couple;e more volts for the loco to move. Nature of the beast.
