I got FSM for my Nissan from Nissan Forum and was hoping to get it here for my Ford windstar 98. I searched everywhere, but I cant find it.

Will it be possible for someone to post the link for downloading the FSM?

Thanks

Nope. Ford does not allow such things. Either buy it, or go without.

They are avaialble at auction, or from www.helm.com.

Hi
I have purchased factory manuals for both of my vehicles on Ebay at very reasonable prices. There is one person selling a CD version right now.

Unless you must have brand new manuals I would watch Ebay. I paid around 40 for each of mine versus 100+ at helm.

Good luck

One more thing regarding the manuals, the prices I quoted were for actual printed manuals, not cd's.

Thanks for the tip. I got one manual on CD for $3 plus $5 shipping.

That's a good deal, $8!

For any electrical stuff, paper is MUCH better. I don't know what Ford was thinking, but I'm VERY glad that I'm not a flat-rate paid dealership tech needing to rely on a Ford Service CD for wiring diagrams. It's enough to drive anyone insane.
