Connecting Motor, Ground & Pickup Wires
-Solder the yellow and white wires from the 5-pin motor harness to the motors.
As noted on page 10, observe the wire color code of the previous electronics to
ensure both motors turn in the same direction. If the engine starts out in the
reverse direction, you will later need to reverse the yellow and white wires to
the motor. This will not be tested until installation is complete- see page 30.
-Connect the red wire from the 7-Pin Chassis Harness to the existing wires from
the pick-up rollers.
-Connect the black wires from the 7-Pin Chassis Harness to chassis ground.

Connecting Lights

-Install the Ditch, Headlight, Marker, Mars, Overhead Blinking & Cab Interior
bulbs into the proper engine & wire harness locations as seen in the diagram on
page 16 and the instructions on page 25.
-On RailKing diesel locomotives, the headlight and backup light are usually a
screw or bayonet based bulb inserted into a bracket mounted to the chassis. This
bulb must be replaced with headlight bulbs (D&G) in the kit in order to have
constant voltage, directional lighting. Secure the bulbs in place with tape or hot
glue. Do
wire the existing bracket and bulb into the PS-2 harness. It will
NOT
damage the lighting circuit.
