Component Locations
To see where a component or connector is located on the car, look up its photo number in the
Component Location section in the back of the book. The photo will also tell you the color of
the connector, and how many cavities it has.
To see where
connectors and parts
are located, look up
their photos in the
Component
Location section.

lf there is no photo number below or beside a component name or a connector, ground, or
terminal number, look up that name or number in the Connector-to-Harness Index that begins
on page 203. The chart lists how many cavities a connector has, where it's located, and what
it connects to. The related illustration shows the connector's location on the harness, and the
harness routing.

Wires
A wavy line at the end of
a wire means lhe wire is
broken by the binding of
the book or by a "choice"
bracket but continues on
the next page.
Wire insulation can be
one color, or one color
with another color stripe.
(The second color is
the stripe.)
This circuit continues on
another page. (The arrow
shows direction o{ current
flow.) To tollow the RED/
BLK wire in this example,
you would turn to page 23-5
and look for the "2" anow.
This means the branch of the
wire connects to another
circuit. The arrow Doints to the
name of the circuit branch
where the wire continues.

Connectors - "C"
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each
connector are numbered starting from the
upper left, looking at the male terminals trom
the terminal side (or looking at the female
lerminals f rom the wire side. Both views are in
the same direction so the numbers are the
same.) All actual cavities are numbered, even
if they have no wire terminals in them.

The connector cavity number is listed next to
each terminal on the circuit schematic. The
cavity/terminal shown below is #6.
Terminal
This means the connector
connects directly to the
componenr.
This means the connector
connects to a lead (pigtail)
wired directly to the
