I have a North Pole Search Light car with burnt out wiring. I can't figure out how to remove trucks to rewire. Pics attached.

You probably do not have to remove the trucks. Turn the car upside down. Where the pickups meet the side frames, pry one side up with a tiny screwdriver. The pickup will pop out and you can rewire them.

This looks like a standard modern day Lionel Truck; The bottom plate can be removed - pry apart the truck sides slightly, and it should spring loose. You can see the Lionel part 6009050150 separated from the truck at the following link:
