MTH Railking 30-1629-1 with PS3. Need part number for the wiring harness in engine side the goes from the wireless drawbar to the board inside the engine. I was having issues with the engine on corners where it would cut out. Took apart and started checking wires and saw it sparking on the red wire at the 6 pin connector. You can see on the picture where it was. Appreciate the help. 54C02328-D892-4867-8A73-1ED79E483DE1

The part you need is:  BC-1200238.  You only show HALF the plug, this plug is a 6 pin connector.  The RED wire is AC power, if it contacts other wires you will have a direct short and can really cause damage.  This connection and the draw bar are problem areas.  You must be very careful when you splice the wires, use shrink wrap tubing to cover the solder joints.  If you are not comfortable with the repair, get an Authorized Service Technician to do it.

I have repaired a Railking Mountain where the plug melted the 6-pin connector and destroyed both ps3 boards, $$$.

Thanks for the help. I was able to pull the pin out of the connector and noticed that the wire itself was burnt out and all that was left was the insulation. I was able to separate the pin from the wire and cut the wire back and strip a new section and crimp it back together and put a little solder on it to hold. Put it back together and the engine is running great now. I will still get the replacement cable just to be safe. 

 

Thanks

Paul
