The factory shop manuals are pricey, but are the best.

For electrical troubleshooting check out the Ford "Electrical & vacuum troubleshooting manual." About 20 bucks at www.helminc.com

It makes fixing electrical problems MUCH easier.

Try factory auto manuals. I have bought a factory manual before from them.
