    I am pressing Pan Up in the cab car and the ALP45DP on the rear of the train is not changing into electric mode. I am stopped sitting stopped in Dover station. Holding the Fault reset button works to diesel mode but the pan up to electric mode does not.

    You must be at a stand still in neutral and brakes applied. Hold pan up and follow instructions and should be ok.

    do you hold it in the up mode for at least 10 seconds or more ?
    there are 2 ways to do it
    the button and the switch next to it
    both ways worked fine for me here

    on which service does it fail for you?

    Several of the Dover to Hoboken 800 trains. I think the issue is that the train is loading in with the pan up but the locomotive in Diesel mode
