    Hello, I am new to the forum. I just purchased a 1990 international 8100 with L10 Cummins. I have searched everywhere I can think of for any type of wiring diagram for the truck and can't find anything. I am having a few electrical issues. The truck is in fairly good shape but needs a little tlc. I am having some issues with the lights and blinkers. The blinker switch shows no activity on the dash or the front or rear signal lights. Nor do the flashers come on. I have no idea the positions of the fuses in the panel and can not find anything on the 8100's anywhere. I have some switches that needs to be replaced and can't find anywhere that shoes what other models are compatible with the 8100 because I can't find anything in the 8100. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    This is the problem with older trucks. Wire diagrams for those were all on printed books back then and slowly switched over to on-line and pdf about 10 years later. Not much is out there for that age range. Your best bet is either online auction like Ebay or call your local dealer if they have any somewhere.

    Thank you Heavyd. I have seen service manuals on eBay and dang there a pretty penny! But if I have to I have to I guess. Thanks again!

    Motor manuals have them, but expensive also. There are bootleg versions of motor PDF manuals too.

    Yes. They are expensive, but they will pay for themselves quickly if you can avoid taking it in. We boxed up all our old manuals like that years ago, and to be honest, I think those boxes are long gone now at our shop.

    Where is the best place to buy parts such as interior switches like head light switch, turn signal, hazard and wiper control? That is a hard one to look up as well. It may help if I knew what all series and years interchanged with my 90 8100. Thanks for all the replies. Keep them coming
