Wow I would love to have received that with my RV. Does anyone know if any company will create wiring diagrams based on an equipment list without the company doing any other work beyond that?
I'l love to get into my panel and clean things up and verify everything is done properly, this would help a LOT!
... Ultimately I'd like to get the panel wired clean enough that it would allow me to remove it for service instead of getting under it or trying to access from the top. ...
No, guys, wiring diagrams are not what you want. They're too detailed.
What you almost always want is a tabulation of what port on what device goes to what port on another device; and what settings go on each port. If you have a wiring diagram, you end up tracing wires on a big drawing to figure out the connections rather than just looking up the connections.
Other details can be in the tabulation, also.
KISS (you know what that stands for)

Yes Steinair will do just the diagram for you if you wish, that is what I went for and did all the rest myself.Wow I would love to have received that with my RV.

I created this schematic document to design (and later, document) N12VD's electronic gizmos.
Beautiful work Ryan. Really well done compared to my hand written chicken scratching.
What program did you use to create it?
Thanks, Laird
All my electrical files are here.
In folder 1):
- "Elec Schem N1921R Z101..." is the top-level power schematic.
- "Elec Schem N1921R Avionics" is the Dynon-centric avionics stuff. I don't draw every wire but rather create lists of connections at devices as I read the installation manuals.
I'll fill in missing info and rev the schematics as I wire the AC.

Am I the only one who does it this way? Maybe just the only one not too proud to show my low-tech version.

Mine are ...drawn using the free Graphic program on a Mac.
Here is an example of my diagrams. They are the same format as Garmin uses in their G3X documentation, all done in Power Point. Once the individual diagram blocks are built up, it is a matter of copy and paste and relabel.

Here is the thread I posted on how I constructed the entire electrical system:

You show multiple independent power feeds to GTN 650 as if it had redundant power inputs like G3X but it does not. Power from a single source should go to both pins 19 & 20 on connector P1001. A single pin cannot handle enough current so Garmin uses both pins 19 & 20 simultaneously. Same goes for ground wiring. Both pins 77 & 78 need to be connected to ground. The installation manual has a typical installation interconnect figure that would be good to review.
David - what's the name of the program?
Hmm. If it's a functional diagram, do you need to show the power and ground wires?
Also, if pairs of pins need to be connected together, you could show that right at the box, not at a distance.
For what it's worth...

As for connecting pins together: I was never 100% clear why a piece of gear would have two power pins and two ground pins that just get connected together. But, I thought I'd read somewhere years ago that the idea was to have both wire runs terminate at the source/ground stud.

Since my skills do not include computer programs for laying out wiring diagrams, my method is decidedly old school: pencil and paper
If you see anything worth changing, pipe up, please.

I strongly recommend you use an EngineBridge or EICommander so that you will know what's happening on your pmags, and for ease of adjustment.

For the wiring, I think you need a way to apply 12v when the mags are grounded in order to do the timing. There's a great thread on this, and here's my wiring diagram:

Bypass VPX for P-mag power and use a switchable breaker
Use straight on-off switch for mag switch
Ground to engine rather than firewall
Remove the jumper with a new engine
