What do I do if something is erroneously omitted from the super-duper Alphabetized list?
If you were wondering why I didn't go after G112 in my example above, there was a reason. And if
you were one of the people who was looking closely at the 'Component Locator' list and was wondering
why G112 wasn't listed immediately above G113, then you might have already guessed the answer.
That's right. Here I am puffing up just how wonderful the Service Manual is...and I discovered that
G112 was erroneously omitted from the alphabetized listing. Phooey! But that dismay only lasted a few
seconds, for I had my laptop right next to my hardcopy of the '99 C/K Service Manual.
And within a few seconds I had the downloaded copy of the .pdf file for Volumes 3 & 4 opened up
to the beginning, did the old "Ctrl F" thing, typed in G112, and after 3 or 4 uninteresting pages, up
came the following page, snapping everything neatly in focus:
(Found what I needed in seconds...all the way down on page 1726 of 3338. (!)
Note: G112 is on the lower righthand corner of this schematic, grayed out slightly due to the Search function.
Not perfect, but since I know exactly where G113 is located, it makes sense to me that G112 is to the passenger
side that G113 is to the driver's side. But I decided to spin the pdf search wheel one more time, and up came
what I was looking for -- just happened to be in the Lighting Systems alphabetized list:
(From p. 1726 to p.1762 of 3338 -- after a subsecond wait -- Computers rock! :0)
So there it is. A glaring omission in the Wiring Systems Component Locator alphabetized list was subsequently found in
the Lighting Systems alpha listing. "G112 - Engine Compartment, Behind the right side battery."
****
So when it comes to being able to quickly search through the Service Manual, some grew up with
paper manuals & prefer those. Others appreciate the laptop's ability to scan thousands of pages for a specific
signal name, ground, splice, or connector number...in seconds.
Me? I prefer both. The hardcopy for pleasure reading. And the .pdf file when I run into the occasional
snag like this.
And this real-world pothole also allowed me to demonstrate that each subsection of the Service Manual
have their own dedicated alphabetized listings similar to the ones that exist in the Wiring Systems section.
We live in an imperfect world. But with a little high-tech cheating we'll manage to get by... :0)
