Alberto,

Since you have a BDL168, you have the chance to test at a couple of places:
1st on the board. Using the tester on the header block, it will light/dark
the leds to show where the detectors think something exists.
2nd is looking in the sensor table. Here is the first place a detector shows
up in JMRI. Everything else watches the sensors.
3rd is the block table. It is driven from the sensors.
4th is the panel. It follows the blocks.
?
So start at the first stage and walk your way though. One note: faulty gaps
or mis-placed feeders will cause some weird detection issues now and then.
So where the problem exists may not be isolated to a single block but be an
interaction of more than one. Insuring they are isolated (remove a
connection at the BDL for example) should kill the track power at that, and
only, that block.
