Thanks,
It really just revolves around the countless relays for the handicap lift, add on heater and remote A/C unit. I was able to get the lift to work but just started looking at the other two things. I really only need a schematic and I'd be able to trace the wires. I called around but can't seem to locate one. I guess i just need to find out exactly what Thomas installed in the factory and go from there.
any direction would appreciated.
jim

| Well, your best luck is to see who made the Wheelchair lift then Contact the Wheelchair Lift Manufacturer or visit the Wheelchair Lift Manufacturer's Website/Support Email to get a Schematic. If you ever need help reading a electrical schematic, you can ask me to help you read the schematic. Also, your welcome. I know alot about electricity and magnetism, and have been drawing electrical schematics since I was Six. |

| Look. If Tatum and other people want to start a riot, then I will just ignore you. I am trying to help someone and I know what I am talking about. I have really, in real life, have been drawing electrical schematics since Age 6, and If you want proof of that I can draw and read electrical schematic, then i'll show you the proof. |

| LOOK, I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. I HAVE BEEN DRAWING ELECTRICAL SCHEMATICS AND HAVE HAD A KNOWLEDGE OF ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM SINCE I WAS FOUR. I AM NOT GOING TO HAVE MY FEELINGS HURT TONIGHT AGAIN. I AM TRYING TO HELP SOMEONE, AND PLEASE DO NOT GET IN THE WAY UNLESS YOU HAVE AN ELECTRICAL SCHEMATIC. THAT STARTS NOW. |

| Well, want The Voltage. That is not my "Typical" Schematic. I usually write the Voltage, Amps, and output Watts, but this was just a QuickDraw. But I don't use computers to create my electrical schematic because the computer don't create them as high quality than hand drawn. I don't have the special software, so this is my better way of doing it. |

fyi, the Transformer is actually a Inductor Coil and the Capacitor is a Variable Capacitor.

| Well, if somebody's bus catches on fire due to your electrical advice, the rest of the forum members will not take responsibility for your ignorance. There is a huge difference between the infrastructure of a school bus and a ameture radio. I would leave it to mechanics who do this for a living to give advice, they know what they are talking about. |

What is your certifications? How many accredited hours of electrical work have you done? |
