Hi- Having trouble trying to look at a top view wiring guide in an original lionel tech manual page showing the correct wiring for the three wires - horn wire(black), truck pickup wire(red), and light socket(black). There are 3 tabs on top of the relay- front ,middle and back towards the battery bracket. Where does each wire go? A picture would be helpful if possible..
Thanks guys!

Basic idea outlined here:
Note that the colors used to differentiate wires and bear no resemblance to what may actually be in the product.
Bmoran to the rescue again!. Thanks. Wire colors were scrambled on this one just like you said might be the case (things happen on 68 year old Lionel Postwar F-3's). Will send a picture when done with it.
Best Regards.
I was stating that my diagram had no resemblance to production wire colors. The colors you mention your wires being agree with what I have seen that appear to be factory.
Hi- Right on bro. Made my day. The diagram helped me better understand visually what needed to be done to be successful. As promised a few pictures when first "lit up".
I am addicted to Postwar F-3's. Love bringing them back and see them go down the track... The 2353 AA was the one just finished today with your help.
I did a 2343 ABA about a month ago-even the beep beep horn works (rare). It was a complete restore with new tops-Lionel 2343(6-38312 AA Set) for the AA's, MTH Railking for the B chassis (the silver is a close match). Was able to "keep" the postwar beep beep horn and battery bracket intact with some careful surgery(inside roof) of the powered A cab- no modification to the original battery bracket. Tight but works great.
Thanks again for your quick response.
