Need Help with Original Protosound GG-1

Hello?Can one of you guys offer me some advice on this please?

The purple wire is part of the lighting circuit.  It should attach to a solder point on one end of the electrical contact pad on the chassis.  Likely this should solve the headlight issue as the purple wire is the common conductor.

P.S.  I gutted the PS1 out of my 4876 to accommodate the first CC upgrade I performed.  Then the old electronics went into a scale K-Line EP5.  Boy, was that a heavy learning experience for this former PW tinkerer.

-Kenny-So, the loose wire goes to the pad that has the contacts on it for the rest of the lights?

The pad that the springs on the shell that are attached to the rest of the lights? I think I understand you,but just want to be super sure before doing any type of soldering.

Thanks for your advice, please comment back to reaffirm that I understand you correctly.Please pardon my being cautious,but as I said,the biggest thing I have done so far on MTH stuff is replace batteries!!!!!-Kenny

 

Bruce, I replied back the wrong way.please pardon me. 

So,the wire that is loose goes to the pad that has the contacts on it for the rest of the lights???

The pad that has the springs attached to the shell that connects all of the other lights?

I have all of the other lights,including the cab lights,markers,etc....just no headlights. Thanks for your advice,please comment back so I can be super sure I understand you,before I do any type of soldering.-Kenny

You have it correct.  Unless the purple wire has disconnected from the PS1 board, it has likely broken off one of those pads. 

I don't see a loose purple wire in your pictures....only one that appears to be brown.  Could you confirm this?
