The DL3 should be straight forward for wiring, lol just wait till you deal with the multiplex system on a J model
Multiplexing sounds more complicated but it seems the wiring can be less complicated (i.e. fewer) as more control and monitoring is put on less cabling. Likely, CAN system is more advanced than on the bus but mentioned more for reference.

Carelessly damage or cut that comm cable on multiplex...

There will be a market of scrapped projects, due to the owner being electrically challenged and unable to recover.

We have that now in analog buses...

Dunning-Kruger, natural selection, something else? Choose one.

Happy coaching!

New transit buses have 5 computers to operate various accessories.  Knowledge of how a ladder logic system works for the operation of everything a must.
