I have just found in my spares box a hornby class 08 DCC 21 pin sound chip . I have fitted it to a blue box class 411 cep but can't get the lights to work do these decoders have a lighting function ?

[olly]

title should say spare dcc decoder . why is there no edit function ?

Lights are a standard function on decoders. Forward lights are the white wire, reverse yellow and the blue the common positive.

Hi

There are no wires on a 21 pin decoder.

Does the class 411 have working lights?

If so, did they work on DC or with a non sound 21 pin decoder?

yes the 411 has lights and they do work on DC .trying to

save some money by using the 08 chip .it will run ok with this but can't get the lights on

not sure about a non sound 21 pin chip don't have one to try

If in fact the decoder is direct plug so no wires as Flashbang suggests, then take a look at http://www.brian-lambert.co.uk/DCC.html#Basic to find the pin configurations, with the light function pins being 7 and 8 and the common 16. You will need to have

 

these connected to your lights. Exact wiring arrangements for them can also be found on that Brian Lambert site.
