Thanks for the help. I found it. I was using the micro binder clips to help hold the pieces together and I didn't realize that one of the 1/4" turns had a "short" on the outside rails behind it that the clip was touching (which also touches the inside rail nub). It must have been bumped overnight. I put some electrical tape on it and all is well now.
By the way, I recommend these clips very much as I don't want to screw the track down, so I clip them together and they won't come apart. Must use the micro size though or it won't fit (also must make sure they aren't touching the ground rails).
