What decoder were you trying to read?
Does th loco have a keep alive in it?
These at best interfere and at worst, prevent reading of or writing to decoders.
One can desolder one keep alive lead, use a normally closed magnetic reed switch
in series with the keep alive or rig up a pin and socket arrangement.
The deluxe method would be the reed switch, just a magnet to open the reed
switch and you don't need to disassemble the loco in any way, only downside with
this would be finding room for the red switch.

Hello @ all,
In recent days the time to identify a locomotive with Decoder Pro has become
extremely long. About 6 minutes.?Before that was going much faster.
I came back to an earlier version of JMRI, no change.
Here is the description of my system:
