    I am trying to drive the 403 on WB towards Essen, first the PZB goes off with no sign or signal, then it goes off a second time approaching white signal and I have tried this multiple times with the last time it puts 1000hz light up and it puts the brakes on yet again despite doing 20kmh and pressed acknowledge several times. Having this been several times, resetting the PZB has the pantograph lowered and will not raise again. I looked in the manuals for anything on why this is constantly stopping and also how to restart the 403 with the pantograph switch disabled and there is absolutely nothing on either. What am I supposed to do with this?

    Can you record a video for us? I can’t make heads or tails of what you’re actually describing.

    I have not been able to record anything in TSW 4 as OBS does not recognise the TSW window, I tried to find out how but it seems I need to add in the script file for it to recognise a UE window.

    How do you reset the 403 systems? I pushed the pantograph switch up and held it but nothing happened, I also tried turning the BIS off and on again but that did not make any difference.

    After the train has shut down PZB release does nothing, pantograph is down and will not raise.

    But the pantograph ended up going down anyway. How do you put it back up when the pantograph switch will not raise the pantograph?

    Have you tried "I'm Stuck - Reset The Physics" on the Pause menu?

    It only resets the brake release point though, this is a power issue.
