        Hello, I'm in crucial need of wiring diagrams. I've been out on the market looking for some and they're all really really expensive. Is there anything cheaper out there that I just can't seem to find? Please someone help me with this.

        What are your needs? If you just need diagrams for your own vehicles, I believe, Alldata will sell info for individual vehicles. If you have a business, it may seem pricey at first but, you really can't afford NOT to have service information. I use, both, Alldata and Shopkey Pro. I prefer Alldata for most things.

        If you're doing this professionally, you are only handicapping yourself by not having service info.
The last shop I worked at uses Alldata, the shop I am at now uses Shop Key (Snap-On branded Mitchell). They each have a bit of a learning curve, and sometimes one has more than the other. It's an essential tool, even if you need to raise your rate or roll the cost into miscellaneous "shop supplies".
They both use the same diagrams you have seen in Scanner Danner videos. Alldata puts them all on the same page so you can trace them like one big diagram, Shop Key hyperlinks all the connector and components so you can click on them from the diagram and see pin outs, location etc. (that is, when it works like it's designed)

        The cheapest wiring diagram service I can find is the following:  "automotive electricians portal"  if you google that you can find it ( portal-diagnostov.com/en/) and can subscribe for a one time fee that gives you 5 vehicles diagrams.  You can pay and get more vehicles.  It's not as comprehensive as more expensive monthly fee services but check out the example diagram to see how detailed it is.  It does not give the pin outs for connectors and that detail.  I have found it useful and less expensive.  Marti
