There's very few items come with any kind of schematic these days ...

True. The last things may be appliances sometimes have those cryptic
appliance schematics. I have a china prison industries mini fridge that
has a wiring diagram on it the rear. I'm not sure why, as nobody would
ever service such a thing anyways. Even better is there's only one loop of
wire in the damn thing anyways- power cord to thermostat to compressor.
There's no light or defrost time/heater or evaporator fan to even make it
interesting.



You're right - they are cryptic, aren't they ? A bit like car schematics.
Not only do they use odd symbols, they also use odd ways of indicating what
connects to what.

A bit like Philips service manuals, really ... :-)

I guess at least in appliances, they tend to not wrap every wiring harness
with loom and extra layer of electrical tape. I plain out tell people, if
it's broken, uses electricity and isn't a car, I may be willing to take a
look at it. Even nonsense machinery with stuff like all black or
white/white with yellow tracer stripes is more pleasing to deal with. I
feel no shame in tagging every ambigious cable/connector/wire with these
things
