Hi Leetaekil,

I purchased this DVD from Helm as outlined in the back of the owner's manual. The software runs off the DVD so I can only copy screen shots of particular pages. Not cheap but worth it except for some reason I cannot get my DVD drive to talk to the computer RAM....

Hi Mark,

Wish I could tell you, but I cannot seem to get the wiring diagrams to pull up. I get the menu of different diagrams, but cannot pull up any diagram. Have not had time to figure this out...

HI Dave,

Have the same DVD....i used the wiring diagrams to splice into the wiring harnesses to the taillights for towing the Ranger behind my motor home...wiring was fully accessible. I am confused by your inability to access...

This is what I am looking to do. I have several aftermarket marker light I want to tie into the signal, brake, and reverse wires. I just don't know if it's worth $200 for a single wire job.

Just a heads up guys I went to www.factory-manuals.com
For Under $80 you get a complete set of shop manuals build specific based on your VIN.
I have owned a few sets over the years ... these look just like the typical dealership version.
Very impressive. It aint cheap but if I am going to do various mods, it is a real nice to have...

Old post - but..
TW does this include the wiring diagrams?

 

[micl9]

After buying the $80 PDF from www.factory-manuals.com.
I thought I would share my thoughts and experience.
1st off its not bad, but its far from perfect. Depending on what you are looking for it may be worth $80. I didn't like the lack of a table of contents and index. You only have PDF bookmarks. It makes it very difficult and time consuming to find things. The embedded links in the wiring section do not work. They do work in the shop manual section.
I reached out to them as they had a statement about money back if you find a better manual, they are careful to say PDF manual. As no one else sells this its a worthless promise. I asked if they could credit me the $80 bucks if I bought the CD from them. They said no. They also claim the CD comes from Helm. And they told me Helm's does not include the wiring diagrams. Not 100% sure but I contacted Helm and they said it did.
For me this was $80 wasted, should have gone helm from the start. This might be good enough for some as it is the cheapest manual out there, but if you are expecting more go with helm

UPDATE - after continued discussion with them I discovered that connector diagrams are included in the premium PDF version and they WOULD credit me the $80 spent on the basic PDF! So I went that route, cheaper than starting over with Helm. If I did it over, I still wish I had gone Helm from the start, but this will work.
Make your own decision, read the descriptions carefully and ask questions up front. Like I sad at the start many be perfectly fine with this version.

And buy USA. Based on the poor level of English in the emails factory-manuals is likely an overseas company.

Hi Mike,

Hey Phil
Helm sent me back this response. Maybe it helps your situation.

Hello Mike,
The CD Roms are complete sets, so it does contain the wiring diagram. If you are having trouble accessing the wiring information. please forward your order number and the best contact number and we will have a Ford Technician contact you. Or you can call our office at 800-782-4356, for assistance.
Thank you
