71 Cutlas Schematic

Can anyone point me in the direction of a schematic for a 71 Cutlas?

I have one rear stop/turn signal not working. I verified the wiring and circuit from the plug under the dash to the rear light and all off that is fine. I suspect a switch/wiring issue up front but am not familiar with the circuit for this year.

Appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction before I have to buy a manual.

Do people not ever look at the stickies at the top of the forums?

i admit it, I didn’t even know it was there. Was in a rush and fired off a post. This one is very difficult to read however.

If you know how to use a Browser simply increase the magnification to enlarge zoom in.

when I zoom in, it gets very blurry. Unreadable. I downloaded it and did a zoom in.

While I won’t spend time battling/discussing what h/w & s/w you’re using the image is in fact exceptionally readable to me.

I realize that the Original Poster found the info he is looking for and this request has been resolved. But while on this topic, does anyone have any experience using these schematics from this outfit?

Here is a direct link: https://classiccarwiring.com/product...40725685895368

If you're viewing it on any phone, all bets are off. A PC's graphics (card) is EXCEEDINGLY more powerful & capable of rendering graphics than any phone made by anyone. There's simply no comparison. Well, there is....but it's likely not worth talking about in this discussion.

in this case it downloaded at a lower resolution so went I sent it to a PC the quality was crap.

appreciate the follow up!

Something to note (this information is free).
Yes, I'm being a smarty pants.

Different/Various websites d/l images at/with different/varying bitrates. In fact, mobile devices (in particular phones) default to selecting the lowest bitrate for any given image d/l. This is to increase speed of delivery since, obviously a phone cannot d/l w/ the efficiency of a PC network card. Albeit, images w/ lower bitrates are actually prioritized for mobile devices (in general, but in particular for phones). The greater the number of bits, the greater the resolution.

Well….with 22,000 posts I think you are entitled to a little bit of attitude😀

on my iPad, I can touch the schematic image once, enlarge it with fingertips, and still make out details well. Screenshot example of the above sticky posted by you, I believe. These are great resources, for those without the fsm

OGP - That's an excellent image. Question for you. Did you d/l that image on your iPad via a cellular wireless connection, a home or other (e.g. modem) WiFi signal, or perhaps a Ethernet cable?

I use starlink WiFi in our home. The iPad also has cellular abilities, but almost never used. When I do, I can’t tell any difference between the two. I did not download, just viewed the file at its source, I think? Although the iPad may be performing a temporary download on its own? I did not save the file anywhere on the device. I know just enough to be semi-dangerous with these devices. Have a good day Norm.

Steve - No worries. Won't really add much to this discussion. Hopefully OP has it figured out.
