The factory manual from Helm Inc. is a good one.

The Dog ate my wires!

The Jack Russel thought there was a varmint in the vicinity of the back bumper...all the wires were ripped off from under the bumper.

FORD publishes year specific paper service manuals thru Helm that are hard to beat. IMO their Electrical & Vacuum Systems manual is "the best" for your needs.

However many prefer a couple of aftermarket manuals on CD.

It's extremely common to hear/read FORD Enthusiasts bitch about Haynes & Chilton. In part b/c they throw many different model years together in same volume.
