So, for example, when looking at the tachometer on the schematic, the three bottom wires are numbered 31, 15 and 1 and are not circled. those same wires all have the number 20 at the far end and those 20s are circled. I have no idea what any of that means.
The red #30 coming off the fresh air fan relay has a damn circled 11 right in the middle of the line before it gets back to fuse #12.
TIA for the education.
Well, let's see
Generally .... 1 is ground, 15 is hot and 31 would be the wire from the "sending unit". These are the connections on the back of the tach.
The circled numbers are traces. The first page shows the wire running from a device, but is terminated on the schematic with a number circled. On the second page of the electrical schematic there should be an equal circled number which indicates where the first wire continues.
I believe this to be the truth.
31 is ground. Pin 31 is consistently used on other elements as ground. For the tach, pin 31 goes off page on reference 22. Reference 22 is connected to ground point B.
15 goes off page on reference 21 . Reference 21 connects to fuse 9. This is 12V power for the tach.
1 goes off page on reference 23. Reference 23 connects to the engine relay board on cabin harness pin 7. Pin 7 connects to engine harness pin 5 which connects to the ignition coil on the NEG terminal.
So in general, 31 is the ground for the lamps, 15 is 12v power for the tach, and 1 is the signal from the coil to drive the tach.
Did I pass the audition?
I guess I should have been looking at a schematic ... apparently got the numbers all mixed up. Rats .............
Some of the 914 are current flow diagrams as well Ken.
It helps to think of the terminal #'s as a "bus" or trunk.
Pelican parts has a better explanation of current flow diagrams than I could give.

If I remember right, 31 ground, 15 = switched hot key start position, 30 = key on hot, and 1= constant hot no matter where the key is....
The "terminals" revolve aroung the switching logic built into the ignition switch.
Kind of standard german/euro thing.
I may be wrong, and probably am but it helps to think of htem this way because the terminals go beyond the circuit you are dealing with.
