Wiring Diagrams

Does anyone know of a website that can help you understand how to read wiring diagrams? I just look at them and get confused. Any advice would be appreciated.

Anything seems difficult at first.
It is a visual langauge that goes along with electrical circuit understanding.
I don't know how it will be quick and easy for you.
Each symbol stands for a specific part and it's effect on the circuit.
I have been at it for more than 50 years, so is just another way to see what a circuit is all about, in most cases, and tells you how the designer intended it to work,and for trouble shooting/altering it's design.
The first thing you need to do is get some understanding of electrical theory and what the symbols represent to that theory.
Good luck.

I can relate to your problem, Steve. Even as a Ford Senior Master Tech, and a Shop Forman the last 10 of my 20 years at a Ford dealer, they can sometimes be difficult to figure out. They seem to change format every couple of years also, nothing stays the same.
