Little numbers in electric sheets

[Zendalar]

Ok, I am looking at these electrical thingie sheets at pelican. There is also the legend part, but it does not explain what are the little numbers. It only tells the bigger, the ones inside a circle.

What are the little numbers and where do I find a legend for those?

I'm not sure which little #'s you are refering to but if ite the ones which are in the middle of the wire it is the cross sectional area with the color code beneath. If its the ones at the bottom of the page it is the circuit #.

Zen,

I'll take a guess, and assume you are talking about '73 and earlier diagrams, which are 'geographical' in nature or laid out so the top othe diagram is the front bumper, bottom is back bumper, etc. Not too many circuit numbers, except interupted ones to worry about, as Bill was referining to '74 and later 'Current Flow' type diagrams ... with both circuit numbers and page numbers to worry about!

There are two types of numbers on the older diagrams other than the circled device numbers.

1. The most numerous are terminal or pin numbers on the individual devices.

2. For wires that go a certain distance (interupted circuits) and just stop without connecting, and there is a number right at the end of the wire, that circuit goes to the other page, this is most common with fuse blocks and gauge/instruments on the dash.

Luckily about diagrams conforming to the German DIN standards, terminal numbers on devices are somewhat standardized, and can be found in publications like the Bosch 'Automotive Handbook,' and some other technical publications. Unfortunately, some types of devices, such as relays, switches, and ignition coils have terminal desinations that have changed somewhat over the lifetime of the Porsche company.
