If you, like myself, find yourself looking to purchase the Helm Bronco Service Manuals on USB, DO NOT think; “Hey, might as well save some shipping and pick up the Wiring Diagram Book also”…you’ll waste your $105.

What they send is a black and white wiring diagram book. But on the USB, the wiring diagrams are included, and searchable, and in color for printing. It wasn’t stated as being that way on the website. Anyway, the pain is the $26 restocking fee and return shipping of the pretty heavy book.

So in Summary, if you buy the USB, you get the wiring diagram in a much nicer, easier to use format. Don’t bother with the wiring diagram book.

Good Luck.

And if anyone has trouble with the wiring diagrams actually loading from the USB or trouble with the USB in general, see these documents. I had to call customer service@ Helm to get them:

I bought the print version from Heilm. I find it much easier than the digital version.

It's noted on the product info page.
