You are on the DIY page

I highly recommend the Motorcraft Technical Resource site.  All though it is a paid subscription based site the amount of information you can access for you car is, in my opinion, well worth every penny!

 Would you like detailed instructions (with illustrations) on how to  remove/install just about every piece of your car?  How about being  able to drill down in a wiring diagram to each individual connector in    the car and see exactly how it's pinned out? 


You get that and much more, including recalls and service bulletins.  Check 'em out - as long as I own my Focus - I will have a subscription.

You can save some money and Do-It-Yourself (DIY).  Below are some articles I hope you will find helpful.  Please let me know if you know of other DIY instructions that would be appropriate here.
