Looking for Thomas electrical schematics

Does anyone have any leads and a wiring diagram for a 2002 Thomas Freighliner w/ a Cummins motor?

I've called my local dealer and didn't have to much luck with them.

The April 1999 Owner Operator Maintenance Manual has over 30 pages of electrical schematics. Here are two examples for the warning and interlock wiring.

Send me your email and I will send you the rest of the diagrams I have. Too large to post here.

Genghis sends.

Don't know what you are looking for specifically but I have full Thomas body wiring diagrams for all chassis they built onto. But there all 80's.
From the newer bus ones I have looked at only the add on stuff change but the basics stayed the same.
Freight liner will only answer for the chassis motor wiring/running stuff.
Thomas will only answer for there add on body stuff.

can you send me the manual please, I have a 1998 Thomas built bus on a FS65 Chassis, do you think the manual you have is the right one for my application? I'm getting frustrated trying to find usable manuals.

Thank you

I emailed the Thomas Bus Co. in North Carolina, told the rep. I was converting my bus to an RV and that the state required me to remove all the school bus safety gear. The representative sent the wiring schematics back to me for my 03 mini bus.

2003 Thomas bus

Can anyone PLEASE help me. I have a 2003 Thomas bus built on a freightliner fs65 with the CAT-3126. I have exactly 0 (zero) experience with wires of any kind. I cannot for the life of me find a wiring diagram for my bus. I have finished with all the demo, and I'm ready to start building, but I need the wiring diagram first. Again, I'm desperately seeking help. Please help me make this skoolie dream of mine a reality.

Why do you need a diagram? Are you having problems or are you looking just to remove excess wires?

If it is the latter, leave the wires alone!

Same, I guted my wiring, which was all reverse removed with start tests, got that all set. My issue is I cut a wire to my door and can't trace it back. If anyone has a 2005 fs65 thomas anything related I'd love to see it too.

I contacted TBB in Caroline’s and they stated for me to contact my local dealer (mine is a 2006); I got no response from emailing the local dealer! Good luck sorry I can’t help more

Thanks David.
When in doubt, rip it out. Not sure if it's worth the trouble, I think it's time for a manual one piece door.
