Alberta has a lot of very STRANGE named towns. We have another one called Balzac... Take it as you will but you know what people will be calling it.

I live in a City.. Calgary to be exact.

Good for you ;-)

I completely misread that the first two times.

LOL I use highlighters and trace the circuits in different colours when I need to follow one.

 

[HerrDeacon]

I bring them into Photoshop and colour the particular wires I'm working on, real pain but it does allow you to more easily focus on the correct ones.

 

[Flugtechnik]

LOL, I'm colorblind so I actually prefer B/W diagrams, as long as they are well labeled.

 

[Barkingmadspeedshop]

I learned that lots of idiots are selling bikes as "good runners" "all legal" "no problems" etc are full of shit. It is the season for people who don't know better to buy bikes that are death traps, half done and given inspections due to "custom work". Sorry a bit of a rant there..

How do you tackle the actual wiring then? I suck bad enough with wiring, I can't imagine how it must be without the colours to distinguish them.

Excellent ideas. Thanks

That's what I was wondering.


So... must've been a mistake, but not only was this wiring diagram in b&w... there were also no markings to indicate colors at all. It basically was just "hey look, all these wires connect to stuff!"
