Now it's easy to read! All you need is FSM, big printer, 3 mm MDF, clear plastic film ,veneer press.
When you get older, (..and I already have glasses) this is what helps...:p
BTW, do I understand correctly, the number on wire code (like: A1C-10R) , number 10 is wire size in AWG table? Car is -69 Imperial.

That's industrial art right there!

I believe the code "A1A, A1B, A1C, etc" is the circuit ID.

For example in buildings you see similar labels such as PNL-2A CKT-5

I think that was an excellent idea! Those FSM wiring diagrams were tough back when I was just a kid and my eyesight was fine. I colored mine in when I was only 15 years old because they were so hard to follow. I don't understand why they couldn't print them in color. They printed the transmission pressure diagrams in color. Just add a buck or two to the price of the manual if you have to. GM started printing color wiring diagram manuals in the late 70's or early 80's, but I don't think that Chrysler or Ford ever did.

There is a real benefit to coloring in the diagrams yourself, as you will learn how the car is wired and get a general feel for the colors that Chrysler uses for the more common circuits.

Happy coloring!

Here's my handywork from way back in the 80's:

I would love to see those available as the FSM is a little too small and I don't care for the aftermarket prints that over simplify the circuits.

Seems like we like coloring, doesn't matter how old we are!
I think I will do it wire by wire when need to, just too many lines to colour...

That's one of the reasons I love the PDF versions of the FSM. I'll print out a page or two of electrical schematics and get the highlighter out.

I was looking at the Staples (large office supply store here in the states) website and they can do large printing. I can even upload over the intrawebs. This might be the way to go... I might try it.

Speaking of highlighters, I used to order black highlighters when I worked at GE. The person in our office that procured office supplies didn't get the joke and she would diligently try to get them for me... She never caught on.

You are a very warped person. . .
