These diagrams contain various wires, wire routing, wire color codes, switches components, fuses, splices, connectors, con- nector cavities and other information except distrib- ©———_ uutor secondary wiring, see (Figs. 1 and 2). Most main e@ circuts are identified by a main circuit identification code. Some codes will not apply to all vehicles. Sec- ondary codes are not shown. See main circuit codes Each wire also contains a code (Fig. 3) which identi- fies main circuit identification, part of a main circuit, color of wire which is shortened to two letters soe b } wire color code chart and if used a colored tracer identified by a slash(/) followed by two letters and an asterisk or an asterick by itself. Wiring harnesses that have substitute wires of a DISTR NER ENGINE on different color then called out on wiring diagrams TIRING ORDER I-5-3-4-0-2 pa7ss should have an identifying tape with specified wire color code (Fig. 4) Fig. 2—Distributor Secondary Wiring 3.91.

If there is more than one splice per cir- cuit splice code a small box will be connected to the diamond with the splice number in it (example 2) Fig. 5). Oo 2 EXAMPLE 1 BCAMPLE 2 Fig. 5—Wiring Splice Examples In order to locate a particulat splice determine splice number from master wiring diagram. Refer to pictorial splice index to find figure number then turn, to that figure to determine splice location within a wiring harness (Fig. 6). RPS, ELECTRICAL WIRING DIAGRAMS 68W - 3 insulation can be used or damage to the electrical ‘system wil occur. Also make sure correct gauge of wiring Is used, Refer to Master Wiring Diagrams for proper gauge size. (2) When a fusible link blows it is very important to find out why it blew. They are placed in vehicle electrical systems for protection against dead shorts to ground which can be caused by electrical compo- nent failure or various wiring failures. Do not just replace fusible link to correct probl (2) When replacing fusible links that are connected to battery terminal of starter relay, they are to be serviced with the same type of prefabricated fusible Bink. All other fusible links are replaced with a piece of fusible link wire cut from bulk reels, Care must be taken that the same gauge and color wire as the original fusible link be used (see Fusible Link Chart).

Fusible links are color coded as to wire gauge size. See fusible link chart. FUSIBLE LINK REPLACEMENT CAUTION: Do not replace blown fusible links with standard wire. Only fusible type wire with hypalon (1) Disconnect negative battery cable. (2) Cut off any remaining portion of blown fusible link flush with multiple connection insulator, taking care not to cut into other fusible links (Fig. 7) (8) Remove 1 inch of insulation from main harness wire about 1 inch from multiple connection insulator Gig. 7 (MAIN HARNESS.
