Lionel O gauge uncouple/unload track

Anyone know how the 4 wires from the control buttons box attach to the 4 terminals on the track? There are no numbers or letters and I forgot what I did before I moved . So far , my combinations are shorting out the track! Help!!
Thanks

The first thing to do is lay the cable out flat from the controller. The left-most wire goes to the left-most terminal on the track section. The remaining three get connected in order(second-second terminal, third-third terminal, fourth-fourth terminal).

Following the wiring schematics and using a ohm-meter, you can verify wire connections before you connect the controller wires to the track.

I did what you said and it was right.
I had the wires backwards!
Dopey me!
