    I removed the four batteries from my '84 Kenworth k-100 COE 400cat and lost the wiring diagram and now I am stuck.

    I do know that part, but mine is 12v and 24v start and I have a P/S switch. The main cables are still there, but I need the grouping on the 24v bunch and which inner set and which outer sets to put together. I was hoping to find a photo or image of a diagram, but I haven't had any luck searching online.

    Thank you to all three. All of this information will help fill in the gaps. The last two posts with images greatly explained what I needed. If there are any other things to come up, as I am going to apply this new found information to the test some time this week, I may be back on with more questions. Thank you all again for the quick and helpful responses.

    I know it's probably too late but next time take a picture before you disconnect anything. Also, when I replace my batteries the wires are so stiff and tie wrapped together they can't go anywhere else except where they are suppose to.
