I'm new to this forum. I'm trying to locate a service manual or at least a BOSS wiring schematic that is applicable to serial # 512819000 thru 512820000. Any help is much appreciated.

Buy a new harness and gauges and get rid of BOSS. Best money you can spend.
Can you supply a little more info on this. Is this an aftermarket wiring harness you're talking about or a harness for the earlier models before BOSS? Concerning the gauges and required panel for them, is this also from a pre-boss model? Thanks.

Ebay has one right now
I went onto ebay yesterday after your post and found a manual for 512816001 and above that cost $15 and they'd send a link to download. I think I was ripped off because no link has been sent as of this a.m. Any help in obtaining this manual would be appreciated. We've got a BICS problem that we can't seem to trace. Intermittent on/off lights on the controller indicating a short somewhere. A schematic would help.

The manual I saw the bid was starting at ten dollars and but it now was fifty bucks for a real book......open a case with ebay they will refund your money

Yes that sounds like a scam........email OM would be fastest if he has it
BOSS was an option, so there were always standard machines without it. BOSS is bad when it works, but when it doesn't, it can be real bear. Diagnosis can be very hard because many times, the problem makes no sense when testing. Wouldn't surprise me depending on what your problem is, you very well may need a new harness anyways.
