Wire color abbeviations

I have a 2001 Grand Caravan and I did buy a factory service manual but have
not been able to find the wire color abbreviations that are used. Does
anyone have the location of the wire color abbreviations in the FSM, and/or
where can I obtain them.

 

The color list is in the front of the wiring diagram section of the
manual.

 

I have looked in every section of this FSM and I have not been able to find
them. I just looked again in Section 8W - 1 and it has symbols and lots of
other information about the wiring but no wiring colors.

 

I think it's there - you're just not seeing it. The FSM's are generally
organized the same way. In my '99 LH car FSM, the wire color codes are
listed in a section titled "Circuit Information". Look for that section
title in the index on p. 8W-01-1. Another clue: The wire color code
chart is Figure 1 of section 8W-1

Odd. Well, here y'go; I've scanned a 2000 Dodge FSM wiring diagram colour
chart:

These colour codes haven't changed in several decades, so I wouldn't worry
about differences between 2000 and 2001. You may want to print this out
and staple it to the inside front cover of your FSM. The "standard tracer
colour" is the colour of the tracer stripe if no other colour is
indicated. So, for example, a wire identified as "YL" is yellow without a
tracer, a wire identified as "YL*" is yellow with a standard (black, in
this case) tracer stripe, and a wire identified as "YL/RD*" is yellow with
a nonstandard (red, in this case) tracer stripe.

No, it isn't. I concur with the O.P......the color abbreviations don't
exist in this manual.

 

I don't have a 2001 GC, so I don't have that manual... but every
single manual I've ever had has had the color code. I'm looking at my
2000 LH body manual now; it's on page 8W-01-4 in this one.

I have a 2001 T & C. Same manual. The color code is not in it.
Anywhere. Funny how all the people without a manual know right where it
is and all those with one can't find it.

 

Awright, qwitcherbitchin' and go yank the colour chart I uploaded and
posted a link to earlier today.

 

it's on the very first page of electrical behind the starter chapter it also
shows the slpicing methid d.c recommends and has been that way since 1973 as it
shows in my cuda manual

And once again I reply, No, it isn't. First, there is no "electrical"
section nor a "starter" chapter. There is a "wiring" section which does
not contain the color code abbreviations.

 

I have the 2003 Service Manual. It lists the section in the S.M. 8W, but it
is not in the manual. And the index were each section has a black bar beside
the section to correspond with that chapter in the Manual is actually
blanked out. It is actually In Volume 2 of the service manual. And Volume 2
is just the 8W section. So, pick up the FSM Volume 2 which is only an inch
thick. It is the section you want.
