Correct me if I am wrong.
I thought you just wanted a manual to know how to work every thing in your car.
I did not think that you wanted to go out & spend a bunch of money to buy a manual that tells you how to repair a vehicle.
I can’t understand why somebody would give me a ‘thumbs down’ for giving you EXACTLY what you asked for !?!?
What’s up with that?
i would say ebay or your local ford dealer.
you can order one at the parts department at a ford dealership. you can also go to a ford dealership sales department and see if fthey have a old one lying around but i doubt it.
your right having the manual will help a lot ,i own a repair shop and i usually get these for my customers from a dealer,this one is still available and only cost around 30 bucks ,but its worth every penny of it, just call your nearest dealer and they can get you one for it,good luck hope this helps.,,PS you might also find a good one from a wrecked car from a good junk yard also.
parts store
Maybe write the Ford Motor Company and see if they have any spares. You may be able to look this up on the internet. You could also try e-bay and maybe Amazon.
Owners manual and repair manual are two different things. I think Dodgeman was talking about a repair manual which has a lot more "repair" info. An owners manual will have things to check and to look out for. This you can get from the dealer or from Ford for not much.
Don’t bother getting the manual. Go to an Autoparts store near you and buy a repair guide from Chilton’s or Haynes, et al, for your specific car. They have them. About $16.
Get a Chilton’s book from Advance Auto Parts/ Autozone for 2004 Ford Taurus. Should be only about 20 dollars, and has so much more information then a owners manual.
Haynes or Chilton’s are what you can buy. But… not everything is in those manuals. For example, if you have DOHC engine (2004) and are looking for instructions on how to replace spark-plugs you will NOT find that info in any manual. Why ? because it is a messy thing to do and the manufacturer wants you to go back to dealers and pay for having them replaced. Believe it or not, they offered to change the spark plugs on my 2004 Taurus (DOHC) for $140 (2 hrs work, lifting the engine etc..) Whoever designed that engine probably never spent one hour working on any vehicle.
