I installed led headlights and ditchlights in an Athearn sd70ace with tsunami sound. After completing the install i have no independant control of the headlights with f0, front ditch lights are fine, but...rear, front headlights and rear ditchlights remain on all the time no matter of direction choice! Are there any CVs that need changed? I believe my wiring to be correct, all common wires to +14 each + to each individual function. function. You help would be greatly appreciated

Which taps did your wire up to the square one or the oval one.

I've done quite a few and I run the red wires plus resistors to the +14 and white/green(mag. wire) to the square function tap and all works fine.

The way i wired the board
F5 1 green for left ditchlight
F6 1 green for right ditchlight
Both red magnet wires with resistor to +14
Front headlight
Red/common with resistor to +14
White to front headlight pad engineears side
Rear headlight
Red/common with resistor to +14
White to rear headlight pad enginears side
The leds work fine, problem is i cannot shut them off with f0, so all lights stay on all the time no matter of direction or if F0 is on or off

Try putting the white wire to conducter side pad that's how I hook them up and then you should be able to control it.
