Looking for any Thomas wiring diagrams

Any help is appreciated. Bus is a 1992 Thomas school bus. Wiring has been modified by others. Thanks, Frank frank.id.crownatgmail.com

If you need the Vandalock wiring I have a copy of that. I've posted it before too.

This is from my 1997 Thomas/International. You may or may not get something useful out of it...

I found some wiring diagrams for 1997 & older Minotours online.

http://shop.pwt.ca/Electrical%20Manu...electrical.pdf

The way it's organized online is a little out of the ordinary. Rather than having a downloadable master PDF file, or HTML pages with links to individual PDF files for the different components, it's a table of contents PDF file that links to other PDF files. So if you want to save them to your hard drive for later reference, you need to click on the links in the main table of contents, then save the resulting PDF file from each of the links.

Hope this helps.

H.

Is there a wiring diagram for an '88 Minotour available? It would probably be better to post them here rather than sharing them privately.

James I have a Thomas 5.9 ER that I need so service info for. Currently I'm in a no start situation with good batteries. Not sure if the wiring circuit is similar. Please PM me and I can go into detail with my request. Thanks

Hi Jolly Roger,
Do you still have an '86 wiring diagram? We're troubleshooting some clearance lights and it would really help to know what we're working with!

I know this is an ancient thread, but I have a 95' Thomas International Vista, 3600 & I'm wondering whether or not you think this might be a good reference for us also? We are having some electrical issues, specifically the fuse for the rear panel / exterior rear lights. The 30 fuse keeps blowing as we are driving down the road and leaving us with no running lights or tail lights. We've changed it 2-3 times driving it the last two days. If this info is compatible with our bus, which has a Navistar T444e then it would be super helpful! Thanks!
