DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND
INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual
sections. If a component is most likely found in a par-
ticular group, it will be shown complete (all wires,
connectors, and pins) within that group. For exam-
ple, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be
found in Group 30, so it is shown there complete. It
can, however, be shown partially in another group if
it contains some associated wiring.
Splice diagrams in Section 8W-70 show the entire
splice and provide references to other sections the
splices serves. Section 8W-70 only contains splice dia-
grams that are not shown in their entirety some-
where else in the wiring diagrams.
Section 8W-80 shows each connector and the cir-
cuits involved with that connector. The connectors
are identified using the name/number on the dia-
gram pages.

CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some
connectors are serviced only with a harness. A typ-

System connectors. Always check parts availability
before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION

• In-line connectors located in the engine compart-
ment are C100 series numbers
• In-line connectors located in the Instrument
Panel area are C200 series numbers.
• In-line connectors located in the body are C300
series numbers.
• Jumper harness connectors are C400 series
numbers.
