I have a wiring diagram and I am trying to make a ladder diagram out of it. I have attempted several times but keep getting stuck.When I get to RR is where I begin to lose it. What would be the best method to draw this out. Thank you

I was expecting to see a ladder diagram somewhere...

Just draw two vertical lines down the outer edges of a piece of paper.

Print out your 'block' diagram on a another piece of paper.

Next label the left vertical line HOT and the right one Neutral.

Now just travel up your block diagram from the HOT to everything else. When you get to a component put the correct symbol and continue until you get to the neutral on your new ladder diagram.

Line out with a colored pencil the items just connected.

Step and repeat.

Don't worry if it looks like cr@p. You can redraw it nicely once you have unraveled the puzzle.
