<VV> wiring drawings

[Harry Yarnell]

By schematics, I mean electrical drawings that represent a circuit.
Look at any Helms manual (section 8) of any GM car from, say, the '80s forward. Each circuit is laid out from the 12 source, thru switchs , modules, etc to ground. You can follow how a circuit works; and what the pinouts are; the color of the wire. 
It makes troubleshooting 'easy'....that's what I'm looking for.

  Hello Harry,
  If I understand you correctly, you are calling the wiring diagrams in the Shop Manuals "pictorials" and you are asking for a colored version of a wiring diagram that shows the internals of the switches and other electrical components. Is that correct?

  If so, then I don't think such diagrams exists. 

  Ned at  AeroNed at aol.com has taken the Shop Manual diagrams and colorized them so that they are easy to follow, although the colors used don't conform to the actual wire colors as far as I know. So actual wire colors are no the same as the colored diagrams.

  But if you are looking for diagrams that actually show the switch and component internals and how they work in schematic and pictorial format,  then please take a look at the diagrams in my book, THE CLASSIC CORVAIR. No color here, but now you can interpret the internals of the turn signal switches and others. This tells you how they work and what each component terminals does.
  I hope that this helps.
  Regards,
  Bob Helt


  Somebody went to the trouble of taking the pictorial wiring diagrams, and redrew them schematic form.
  Being an electronics guy, I've never liked the pictorial format, prefering a schematic, and as simple as the corvair wiring is, following uncolored lines in the shop manual was maddening to me. GM at least had the sense to COLOR the leads on more complex systems, as these were multiple three page foldouts. Still...

  Now, who has the corvair schematics and how do I get them?
