Wiring diagram error/oversight

Post by triton28 »

While comparing diagrams between my supplemental issue #s 54 and #61, I noticed what appears to be a missing Black wire connection in the #61 diagram.
On the nicely colour coded #54 version, the Black comes from the Starter Circuit Relay and goes to the starter button as well as having a shunt in Black/White to the fuel pump for the '87 and earlier models. That's fine as it is correct.
However in the #61 version, the Black from the Starter Circuit Relay APPEARS to end at the Red wire from the starter button. And the Black from the Starter Button APPEARS to end at the Green from the Hazard Switch.
I suspect that in my #61 printing, the small right angle path of the Black wire, crossing the Red wire and continuing the Black circuit, after crossing the Green wire as well, has been omitted.
I can't say if this shows up on other wiring diagrams subsequent to #54 , but it does occur on the #61 printing I have.
Just thought it may save someone some time doing a circuit check.

the wiring diagrams are different from the original service manual and the supplement manual.
the supplement has the cruse control, dose not have the rear fender light also I believe there is a difference in the fuel pump circuit.

Yes Chevyman they are different. I have both the service manual AND the service manual supplement diagrams. What I am trying to relate is an error in the later supplemental diagrams, not the difference between the service manual and service manual "supplement" diagrams, but thank you anyway.
