You are supposed to install kaptan tape around the two frame half openings. If either one of those motor leads touches the frame halves it's goodbye decoder.
Not according the the instructions for this particular decoder, Digitrax DN163a0. They only say you need to insert the motor contacts into the slots in the decoder and check the clearances when you are done and to bend them if necessary.
Nice revival, Peter!
I have one of those u25bs from 93. One of the best locos in my roster.
