What does this diagram show?

It shows a hand-drawn wiring layout connecting a "3rd Light" (third brake light) with two "5th Lights," with wires linking the three bulbs together and two leads running off the bottom of the drawing.

How many lights are shown in the diagram?

Three lights total: one labeled "3rd Light" on the left and two labeled "5th Lights" on the right.

Does the diagram specify wire colors or fuse ratings?

No. The diagram contains only the labels "3rd Light" and "5th Lights" — no wire colors, fuse ratings, gauges, or part numbers are shown.

How are the two 5th lights connected?

The two 5th lights are connected to each other by a wire, and additional wires run from them toward the 3rd light and down off the bottom of the diagram.

This document is a simple hand-drawn wiring diagram (filename "series.gif") uploaded to a 1992 Ford Taurus gallery on SuperMotors.net. It illustrates how to wire a third brake light together with two additional "5th" lights, apparently in a series arrangement (consistent with the filename, and with a companion file "parallel.gif" in the same album showing the alternate arrangement). The diagram depicts three light bulb symbols: one on the left labeled "3rd Light" and two on the right labeled "5th Lights." Lines representing wires connect the third light to the pair of fifth lights, with two leads running off the bottom edge of the drawing, presumably to the vehicle's brake light circuit or power/ground. The drawing contains no wire color codes, connector pinouts, fuse positions or amperages, part numbers, torque values, or year/model applicability statements. A reader can learn the basic connection topology for chaining a third brake light with two supplemental lights, but must consult the companion diagrams (parallel.gif, wiring.GIF) or other sources for electrical specifics such as wire gauge, colors, and circuit tap points.
