HC not seeing LM-3S
KPack:
Another possibility is that the HC program was corrupted, and that possibly corrupted the LM programs. That is some truly bizarre behavior. Never heard of anything like that before with railpro.
Once you get the HC back, test it with some modules you know work. But I'm a little worried about the status of the modules he has now. Something isn't right. The fact that he has had so many issues with everything leads me to believe that it all started with one thing. The HC is the center of railpro, and everything else revolves around it, so my guess is there.

Here's the latest.
I tried the wonky LM in another install that I know works, in case my friend's supplied harness was wonky as well. My HC did not see it at all, as per the first time using the supplied harness.
I then tried to determine if the LM was 'on'. I checked and I have 16 volts on the track, putting the multimeter to the blue & yellow wires/pins showed 15.55 volts, so, yup, it's 'on'.
I tried to clear the password, but it couldn't find the module, so it was unable to clear any pw.
I'm using my HC, not my friend's. To the best of my knowledge he already has his HC back.
What's the next steps for this wonky LM?

I like Alan's Suggestion wait till after Halloween all kidding aside Spirits do exist I lived in a house that had a Spirit I had my first layout in the Basement of a House we bought in 1976 one night I went down in the Basement to Run the Trains late at night and I smelled the Sweet Smell of pipe Tobacco and saw Smoke. One night after my first son was born he had his Hot wheels trike the one with the big wheel in front and the small wheels in the back. my son ran it around our basement I always made sure he put it out of the way after he used it one night I went Downstairs to work on the layout I open the Basement door,and Smack in the way is the Trike The next morning I yelled at my son for leaving his trike in front of the door he swore up and down he did not leave it there,now getting back to the smoke before we bought the house another young couple owned it.
They only lived there for 3 years,several years had passed and some one in the distant neighbor hood had lost their Dog and I found it and returned it to them not knowing this person from Adam asked where I lived and I told them, it was about a half mile from their house we got to talking and they said Oh the House that had the fire about 10 years ago,I had no Idea the previous owner had never told us,I don't believe they even knew, well to make a long story short I had often wondered why the upstairs floor boards were cut out and covered over the holes were still there well it so happens that while talking to the Lost dog owner they told me The Old Guy that lived in the house after his wife had died lived all alone and smoked a pipe and had put it in his pocket of his jacket and forgot to make sure it was out and a fire started. they ran the fire hoses up through the floor from the basement to put out the fire! years later he died in the house. many other things over the years occurred in the house too many to mention here, we lived in that house for 27 years True Story as incredible as it sounds But I swear it is all True!

Yep, at this point we've ruled out everything else. The module needs a factory reset or he'll just replace it. Likely he'll replace it with a fresh one and then use the defective one for testing. He's probably curious as to what went wrong. Again, I'm leaning towards the HC having corrupted files that then corrupted the LM.
