Might be there is "something" in CV 19 and they think they are still in a consist. Set CV 19 back to 0 and CV 1 (or 17+18) should be again the address in effect.
The idea behind consist is using the address in CV 19 instead of CV 1 but keep CV1 unchanged. The other consist CVs 21 and 22 are used to define how the function keys shall shall be used in the consist. You may set them to 255 for a first test.
Example:
Locomotive A has CV1 set to 5.
Locomotive B has CV1 set to 6.
You operate them independently with the addresses 5 and 6.
Now set CV 19 in BOTH units to 10.
You control both units at the same time under address 10.
