i swear to ever livin god that the people that write the Haynes Manuals are absolute morons. i just wanna rip the pages out of mine, wipe my butt with the pages and mail it back to them. sure, i may get some paper cuts on my butt cheeks, but i wouldnt honestly care.

I don't even know why I open it half the time.

I end up checking the Ford Service CD I bought on ebay often - especially for the electrical stuff.

I made the mistake of buying one of those once for a stang I owned....to replace the heater core its directions were to remove the dash...ha ha ha ha...what a joke....

Anyways....you said Ford CD service manual has electrical stuff? Does it have all the wiring diagrams in it?

yeah RangerDrgnOnYou...i had to replace the heater core in my truck yesterday and i had to take out my dash to get to the heater core housing on the passenger side. Haynes manual left out a BUNCH of stuff. i just hope the new one works because i am not doing that again any time soon. i got like an hour or so left of putting my dash back together. good thing is that i know what to expect when i take my dash apart...LOL.

FUCKIN TELL ME ABOUT IT!

i bought one for my Explorer.....i had to replace the ignition lock and it said to push on the lock pin through a hole in the lower column cover.......well, guess what?

THERE IS NO HOLE IN MY LOWER STEERING COLUMN COVER.....i ended up pulling everything off the steering column and still couldn't get the lock out, so i said EFF it and took a old flathead screwdriver and a BMFH and beat the screwdrive into the lock, gave it a good pull towards me and a push away from me, the lock split into 2 pieces and fell out....

part of it is still in there, but at least now i can get it in nuetral to have it towed home.......

u have to take the column cover off, there is a hole that a 1/8 in drill bit fits in, and u push it in and turn it to acc w/ the key in it and the cylinerder comes right out. if u have no key, u have to drill the pin out and itll come out to
