Reading Wiring Schematic and Symbols

Each electrical section includes an electrical schematic for the system described in the section. This schematic includes only the fuses, wiring and components required for the system. This prevents you from being distracted by wiring that is not part of the circuit you are working on.

IMPORTANT: It is important to realize that no attempt is made to represent components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle.

For example, a four-foot length of wire is treated no differently in the electrical schematic than a 12-inch piece of wire.
