I've been doing some reading on capacitors, relating to a non-automotive subject. I came across a few basic diagrams and thought it may be worthwhile to take the first step in reading automotive electrical diagrams. Basic electrical troubleshooting is my favorite aspect of automotive DIY. Testing wires for continuity, testing if a switch is good, then testing is power is getting to the motor, applying power directly to a motor to determine if the motor is dead, etc. But, I've never used an electrical diagram.
There may be others who are interested in the next step of reading diagrams.
Is anyone willing to post and explain a very basic electrical diagram relating some some simple aspect of the 911?
Like a window motor, for example
For example,
The ===/+++ thing is a capacitor that can hold a charge.
The long and short lines are the power source battery.
The circles and line are a locking switch
The zigzag lines are a resistor of some sort (LED light, etc)
When the switch is down, the battery loads the capacitor
When the switch is up, the capacitor empties its electrons towards ground.
