Default Help me read Current Flow Diagram Model 83

My .pdf workshop manuals are legible, but I'm not quite getting a couple of things, and hope you can help me out.

I know the shaded area on the top of the pages represents a fuse or relay board. But what do the five lines labelled 30, 15, X, 31, and 50 mean?

In Part I, for example, do all the wires that run to ground terminate at Ground Terminal 1?

Thanks,

Nick

nick, call me at the shop when you wake up, I'll print a diagram of whatever you are trying to diagnose and go over it with you. Send me a PM for the phone #.

30 is constant battery voltage (even with key off)
15 is switched by ign (key on)
31 is ground
50 is crank
And ill have to look X up at work tomorrow, it has slipped my mind... Thats not good...

Ill be at work tomorrow with the manuals, if you need help just let me know.

Only two months late, but...hey Mark, thanks!

That's exactly what I was wondering. My 944 has been in the garage while I was laid up with broken ribs. I'm back at it now, and knowing how the current flow diagram works will help me get the car back on the road. The wiring is very messed up: both corroded and altered by previous owners.

I'm going to start another thread that addresses my next question!

Nick
