Order a Factory Ford EVTM off of ebay. Wasting your time with a Haynes manual. They dont even compare. Not sure what year you are looking for but they are usually on there for all years.
Here are a few...

Library

I work for the Santa Clara County Library here in the Bay Area, CA. We provide AllData for free (in-house only though)...pretty sweet.

Check some local libraries if you have access.
 
oh yeah...

oh yeah and AllData is awesome specially for wiring diagrams because for one, finding the diagram you need is easy as a search.

That will cover you for the electrical and vacuum side...

If you want the mechanical stuff too, the factory service manual is what you need....

..if you have an 89, I recommend grabbing this. GREAT price for everything you'd need.

In my opinion, Haynes manuals are a good quick-reference or for someone who just needs the basics + a handful of details (60%). If you want ALL (95%) of the details, the the factory manuals are the way to go. I find the factory manuals clumsy and hard to find things, so I usually use my Haynes manual...when it was made, you can tell they just condensed the factory manuals and even used many of the graphics from the factory manuals. :rolleyes:
 
Sorry guys I forgot to put what year I have .[1990 SC auto.]What I need is the wiring diagram from the solenoid to wherever it goes. I have done something when I changed the solenoid. The only hot parts I've got are the starter and the alternator. I don't even get a spark for the battery when I hook the ~~~ and neg cables up.I've checked everywhere else and nothing , at the fuse box at the battery or the one inside the car.I've had the battery checked at Auto Zone and it is ok.Here are the things I've checked with a test light,EEC,igition,all the fuses boxes inside and out,the fusible link thats at the soienoid, looked for loose or wires that aren't hooked up and anywhere else that you can hook up a test light.Thanks guys for the come backs.JDC
