Hi everyone.
Thanks so much for the help. A minor detail, but for me was a major
stumbling block.
The first clue from Scott helped, and I finally put the puzzle
together with all the helpful emails.
It was the track numbers at the end of certain wires at the bottom of
the diagrams that was confusing me.
For instance..... "Ahem"
Track number reference 69, is at end of a wire connected to S18. But
when I turn the page and look at the end of wire from 69, it says 57.
But one ignores that and looks up to the fuel pump and finds 42. Find
42 at bottom of previous diagram, ignore what we see at the end of
*that* wire (which was the extra ground I was seeing) and look up to
end of the original wire from S18, and see 69. I get it.
Big thanks guys.
I just couldn't see beyond the number at the end of a given wire on a
given track, and looking up to find the proper number. As such, I
would take that misleading number literally and start looking to say
57, or see that extra ground and get really confused as it didn't make
ANY sense!
I'm pretty sure I'll be reading these diagrams properly now. Which
will be a big help for my Vanagon/Jetta conversion.
A silly "short hand" to learn, but works fine now.
Neil.
