Re: [VAL] Wiring Diagram '66 Caravel



Hi Bob:

    You have the best that is presently available.  The 1966 Owner's 
Manual contains a wiring schematic, a simple line drawing that roughly 
approximates the actual wiring in your Caravel.  The schematic was never 
intended to be a complete and detailed engineering drawing from which, 
for example, you could build a duplicate original wiring harness correct 
for your trailer in every detail.

   What you are seeking, but is not available, is an engineering drawing 
of the actual wiring system for your 1966 Caravel.  Unless someone has 
made such a drawing from a removed complete wiring harness, I doubt this 
information is available.  Your best bet might be to try and find 
someone who has removed and preserve a complete wiring harness from a 
1966 Caravel built in the same factory as yours, a very tough task.

    I hate to be discouraging, but I don't tihnk you will easily find 
the wiring information you are asking for.  I had the same trouble 
trying to understand the wiring schematic for my 1964 Globe Trotter; it 
just didn't contain the level of detail I sought.  But I eventually 
figured it out by looking at the schematic then studying the actual 
wiring.

    Good luck with all that nutty vermicelli!
