eBay is usually a good source for owner’s manuals. Hey, maybe that’s where yours ended up! ---

Helm Inc. Has A Brand New Owner’s Manual In Stock & Ready To Ship For Your Ford. They supply the genuine original Owners Manuals and Service Manuals for many major car companies. I have been using them for decades. They are very efficient and have been quite helpful. Your manual is in stock for $25, or $35 for the fancy portfolio version that came with new car (usually has a cloth or vinyl case), + S&H. I’d spring for the $35 portfolio one. You’ll like it. Helm is usually very prompt. Here’s a link to what I’m looking at: [http://www.helminc.com/helm/Result.asp?Style=&Mfg=FMC&Make=FCT&Model=500&Year=2007&Category=2&Keyword=&Module=&selected\_media=&mscsid=0E8VWUP70QKK8H9N12VEUTQX8GUBAP6D](http://www.helminc.com/helm/Result.asp?Style=&Mfg=FMC&Make=FCT&Model=500&Year=2007&Category=2&Keyword=&Module=&selected%5Fmedia=&mscsid=0E8VWUP70QKK8H9N12VEUTQX8GUBAP6D) Here’s their link with a list of car manufacturer’s manuals from which customers can choose: Click on them!

The previously mentioned fleetford is good and so is [www.motorcraft.com](http://www.motorcraft.com). Even if you don’t like Ford for other reasons, you have to like them for making manuals easily available. Download the service schedule/log while you are there as well. ---

Helm has a $7.00 processing fee for every order and a minimum $10.00 shipping fee. The have owed me $65.00 for a FSM that their site said contained driveability info and did not for a week now. To speak in their defense they are giving me a full refund,just slowly.
