Body: <p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/mRUzx.jpg" alt="LEGO train malfunction"></p>
  
  <p>The remote isn't lighting up to show it's transmitting. Can't get train to run when motor is connected to IR receiver. Tried connecting motor directly to battery and it runs, albeit at warp speed. Checked all channels on both receiver and remote to no avail. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? </p>
