accidentally removed a decoder wire. - KevinKrey - 10-25-2009
I was messing around with a new locomotive and disonnected a wire from its solder joint at the very top of the motor. So i soldered it back on to the tab it was connected to. (this is a life like gp38-2) Anyway, by doing so I pulled the wire out from where ever it was connected origionally on the decoder. the decoder has eight points at which wires are connected. and I know this belongs on the side labled 1-4 on the decoder/circut board itself.Can anybody telll me where it should be going number wise? I have no sort of diagram to go off off.

Motor wires coming off the decoder are gray and orange. These correspond to pin #'s 5 and 1 respectively. I would presume that the pin #'s correspond to a tab # on the decoder. Good luck..!!
