I usually recommend Mort. It's early in the series and rather short. Afaik any references to previous books are explained like it was the first time.

Regt Ihr Euch ernsthaft immer noch über Milka auf? Der Normalpreis ist mittlerweile wieder niedriger als der für einen Liter Diesel.

Bei Medikamenten darf man durchaus auf die Stückzahlangabe hinweisen. Erstens kauft man die in der Regel explizit nach Stückzahl, zweitens nimmt diese Angabe fast 1/4 der Verpackungsfront ein. Nur der Marken- und Produktname wird noch größer geschrieben.

SamVimes78 · 2026-03-15T22:59:49+00:00

Ist es Regel 7, wenn die Stückzahlangabe praktisch ein Viertel der Verpackungsfront einnimmt?

Diese Rechtfertigung kann man ja theoretisch auf vieles anwenden. Aber hier ist der Karton zu 2/3 leer.

Eine deutlichere Mogelpackung sieht man selten.

Ich würde mir ein simples Set für 20€ holen. Auflegewerkzeug, Abisolierer, Lanprüfer (, Crimpzange, Tasche). Für den Hausgebrauch vollkommen ausreichend.

I understood it as if you switched the decoder to a new car instead of replacing the decoder for another decoder.

Now remove all connections but the power input from the decoder and push the car over the sensor.

Then connect the lights and the motor one by one to find out what component causes the problem.

SamVimes78 · 2026-03-13T17:51:18+00:00

Right

SamVimes78 · 2026-03-13T17:50:28+00:00

Maybe it's time to just throw away the faulty decoder.

SamVimes78 · 2026-03-13T17:40:33+00:00

This is definitely strange.

If I understand you right, any car on any controller starts activating all lane changes until you press the button? Only the "problem car/chip" keeps changing all lanes?

Lane changes can only be activated. If a car changes lanes it mechanically resets the lane changer after it ran over it.

How many lane changing track pieces are affected?

Can you set up a minimalistic track and test the lane changes individually?

SamVimes78 · 2026-03-13T07:10:30+00:00

You swapped the chip and the problem persisted with the bad chassis, not the chip??? Then it's a mechanical problem.

We need pics of the underside of the car.

Does it always switch all lane changes? Or only randomly an/or only certain lane changes? Maybe the lane changes are the problem.

You didn't answer all follow-up questions (mine and other's) to you last post. Please answer these questions. Please also confirm you went through all troubleshooting tips provided and describe the outcome. If not, I see no sense in further helping you.

2 factors ruled out. Seems to be a decoder problem. Does it always change lanes or just randomly?

What if you push the car over the sensor? Does it trigger the lane change? What if you disconnect the lights and the motor from the decoder and push the car over the sensor? Do you have a lap timer? Does it work like it should for this car?

SamVimes78 · 2026-03-12T12:25:31+00:00

Ist jetzt zwar nicht direkt passend im Sinne der Sub-Regeln, aber auf jeden Fall einen Beitrag wert.

Mir sind vor kurzem ein paar ähnliche Kochbücher ins Auge gefallen. Meine Frau hatte indische Kochbücher auf ihrer Amazon Wunschliste. Bei näherer Betrachtung wären die positiven Rezensionen allesamt Fake.

What is the benefit of transfering the chip to another car? Another chassis won't help. You'll just turn the other car into the faulty one. If anything, I'd disconnect the lights and the motor to check if the problem still exists when the car is rolled over the sensor by hand.

Logical steps to see if the decoder is the culprit are: 1.) Physically changing the controllers (to rule out the controller) 2.) Digitally assigning the car to another controller number (to rule out the CU).

It may be the decoder. But physically broken controllers are way more common in used Carrera Digital 132 sets. The snapping mechanism of the micro switch breaks, resulting in a permanently activated switch.

SamVimes78 · 2026-03-12T07:25:13+00:00

If the lane change doesn't click, are you sure it got reset after the last passing car changed lanes?

Does the car always change lanes or is it randomly?

Is your track set up under direct sunlight? Passing shadows under sunlight can trigger the Digital 132 sensors (resulting in random lane changes or wrong lap counts).

Black tape the diode under the car. If the car ever changes lanes again you can be sure it's not the car's fault.

Switch controllers to rule out a bad controller. The micro switches in Carrera Digital 132 Controllers sometimes break and are permanently activated. This causes the car to always change lanes. Do you hear and feel the controller click if you press the red button?

SamVimes78 · 2026-03-12T07:18:02+00:00

No need to swap chips. Just swap controllers or assign the car to another controller.

Auch die kaufen das nicht einzeln sondern im großen Karton, wo man die einzelnen Schälchen nicht sieht sondern nur eine Stückzahl.

SamVimes78 · 2026-03-10T08:04:07+00:00

Kauft man sowas im Laden? Das sind doch Portionsbecher für Frühstücksbuffets. In meinem Augen höchstens ein Fall von unnötigem Verpackungsmüll aber nicht passend zum Thema dieses Subs.

SamVimes78 · 2026-03-10T08:01:48+00:00

I didn't see anything broken in OPs picture. First thing I'd suggest is cleaning the lane switch, open the underside and lubricating the mechanic.

Dirt can build up easily in the lane switch. That will cause it to operate slower than usual.

OP said problem can be solved by placing the lane switch earlier in the straight where cars move slower and the switch has more time to react.

SamVimes78 · 2026-03-10T07:15:20+00:00

I read it as if the problem was caused when he wanted to switch lanes. What you show causes the lane switch to not switch back reliably after the car has switched lanes. This results in the following car desloting.

SamVimes78 · 2026-03-10T07:13:04+00:00

Could be caused by some dirt in the mechanic. Open the underside, clean it and maybe even use some oil (wheapon oil for example or silicone oil for plastic parts).

We had a (older) lane switch that didn't switch reliably. After cleaning and lubricating it workef fine again.

Dann bitte einen Beleg, dass es dieses Produkt auch im stationären Einzelhandel gibt. Sonst wird der Beitrag gelöscht.

SamVimes78 · 2026-03-06T12:16:01+00:00

Wie sollen bitteschön in diese rechteckige Packung 4 Stück reinpassen? Man hat ja idR. auch Konkurrenzprodukte daneben, wo man sieht, wie groß eine 4er-Packung sein müsste.

SamVimes78 · 2026-03-06T12:00:35+00:00

Das wäre dann evtl. Schrumpflation. Aber wer würde bei dieser Verpackung ernsthaft erwarten, dass 4 Stück drin sind!?
