I'll be the first to admit that I still have a bad habit of not paying
close attention to what the Bentley says, but the "How to read wiring
diagrams" page, (P 97.4 in my newer Bentley) shows an example of an
internal connection ("thin line") about midpoint in the diagram
example. It refers to it as a "ground connection", which I find a
little confusing, but the fridge relay does show the same "thin line".

Not lecturing anyone, as I don't have the experience level to do so.
Just saying.

Neil.
