Where To Obtain Readable 993 Wiring Diagrams
As many of you will know, fine details on the wiring diagrams in the PDF version of the 993 shop manual are very difficult to read.
Is there a source from which to legally obtain a clear set of the wiring schematics short of purchasing the full set of hard copy manuals?

The new Bentley manuals for the 993's have very good diagrams, and the book is only $170 or so....
Is there anything in particular you are after? I may be able to help...

Thank you for the suggestion. Bentley manual would be an affordable option if the schematics are good.
I am trying to research the wiring requirements for the factory daytime running lights (DRL) installation using the R63 relay and associated relay board.
While the two-spade jumper mod currently does the job in my US spec C2, I thought I would take on a project to pursue a more elegant solution.
While I profess no expertise is this area, if successful I would be happy to share my findings with Rennlist..

Ed,
While I would prefer to own a set of the printed WSMs, I could probably make do with the PDF manual augmented with a set of legible wiring diagrams.
My search of this forum has revealed that the need for legible wiring diagrams has arisen fairly often in the past and is frequently addressed on an ad hoc basis by generous Rennlisters who share their diagrams off line via PM because of copyright concerns. I was hoping that as a forum, we might be able to find a comprehensive, legal solution to the wiring diagram requirement.

I feel your pain. Watched Ebay for a set of WSMs, but couldn't find something that I felt was reasonably priced.
I ordered the Bentley today, basically for the wiring diagrams. I'm sure there will be other benefits of having a
printed and bound manual in addition to the freely available (and poorly scanned) electronic PDF version of
the 993 WSM.

BesideTheBox,
I might well do the same. That said, my local library has on-line access to Alldata automotive repair manuals so I will give that a try tomorrow to see if it meets the need..

Dan, be it the PDF version floating around on the web or the actual paper versions or the Bentley manual, they can be hard to read because they are all B&W and on small sheets packed with too much info.
I did find a place locally that had a flat-bed scanner large enough to scan my Porsche factory schematics (11.75" x 23") at high-res so that I could have them printed on say 24 x 36 inch paper. One day!

Several years ago before I had the pdf schematics, I purchased a brief subscription for like $20 to allparts or alldata or whatever it's called. They had all the wiring schematics, and I assume they still do.

My requirement for legible wiring diagrams has been met thanks to the generous offers of support that I received from a number of Rennlisters in a variety of countries.
Membership in Rennlist has added immeasurably to my enjoyment of the 993 ownership experience. Thanks to you all for sharing your passion.
