I would rather avoid paying the $70 for the manual as I'm seeing most places are charging for it. Anybody have a link?

Unfortunately the wiring diagram in the '01 manual freely available here is quite a bit different than what I see when I look at the wiring in my truck.

All I want to do is find a good place to splice into an accessory wire (+12V with ignition running) near the fuse/power distribution box which can handle the load of driving a battery islolator relay coil. It would be nice to try and identify a good candidate from within the nearby bundles by wire color. The manual would work great for that.

I mean, I can get there the hard way too but looking at the schematic could sure save me some time.

This kind of makes me mad whenever I realize that this info, which should just come as part of the package to the owners of vehicles IMO, cost nearly $100 to lay my hands on. I re-remember how mad it makes me every time I get a new vehicle. Grrrrr!

 

I have these diagrams, they are for a 97 so I don't know if they'll help you or not, but they'd be better than the 01 diagrams I would think....

I found a "real" factory service manual, used.... for..... 120 bucks????? That's outrageous.

 

Thank you. I don't know yet if it's close enough since it doesn't have an overhead view of the power distribution center like the '01 manual has that made it obvious it wouldn't work. The more info the better though. I appreciate your posting it.

 

Nice little operation these internet manual suppliers have going, eh? Half the time even when the manuals are posted for free download somehwere there are leaches still trying to sell them on ebay and stuff.
