Marauder repair manual?

[04CobraSVT]

Hi guys, looking for a Haynes or Chilton type printed book (ideally) for my 04. The only options I've found are downloadable manuals or mailed CDs. I can't find details about these sources (quality?). What do you guys use?

I have a set of factory books, pm me

The Hayes & Chilton manuals are garbage IMHO.

Check eBay for the shop manual and electrical manuals. Look for Crown Victoria & Grand Marquis as they include Marauder specific information.

Here's a good deal:

+1 on this. I agree completely. Get the shop manual and electrical manuals. You'll be happy you did.

I recently bought OEM manuals on ebay for $75

The better deal was the free set I was going to ship him, but instead of some saying to pm me, you sent him to eBay, my trash can is closer than having to deal with the same type posts that always steer something your way. No skin off my azz, saves me the cost of shipping, and it’s another win in your column, great job helping a new member......smh

Only thing I could add is I have an 2009 Crown Victoria and grand marquis manual as well as the 03 manuals and I noticed the illustrations in the 09 manual are generally better than the 03 manual. The 09 manual has part numbers listed for bolts and nuts which has been extremely helpful for me when putting things back together on my 03 because I didn’t take enough pictures and am not particularly organized. I was thinking having an actual parts manual would nice too.

I'm sure the OP is a big boy and can make his own decisions......

Glad I could save you the shipping costs!

Do we have to feel sorry for you that you decided to trash them or that your a "Big Man" for trashing them......

Good Luck... probably in the trash already.....


BTW, I believe there is no "insert". Marauder-specific information is in the same manual.

No, just feel proud of yourself that you cost a brother marauder owner money, I give -0- f’s if you you feel sorry for anything, because you have never done a damn thing for any member here for free, it’s always about how much Jim can make off some janky led lights or a half azzed repair.

And as far as the OP being a “big boy”, yep, and with that line I’m sure he can figure what a stellar guy you are.

They were already tossed, I have never seen a marauder specie insert, there are sections that refer specifically to the marauder though.

The 'Marauder Collection' insert inside of the zip up Owner's Manual packet that depicted the Marauder specific merchandise.

I'm looking for factory shop manuals too. Anyone willing to sell please let me know. Someone tell me what a good set is worth? Looking for a Marauder Collection pamphlet too.

EBay is your best bet.

Although you might be able to convince someone to get his out of the trash..... :shake:

A fair price would be $100.00 or less for the shop and wiring manuals (paper form).

What is your opinion of the Ford Shop Manual DVDs? As good or better content than the paper manuals?

They both have the same content - the paper manuals are in essence a printout of the DVD.

Personally have both. The DVD is DEFINITELY more betterer to search for things.

Thanks for this. I just ordered the 2004 shop manual on DVD off of eBay. Currently on eBay under 'Mercury Marauder'....!?!?!?

I have it also. I prefer paper. Just something about holding the manual in my hands I guess.

IIRC, you'll have to reset the time on your computer to see the content of the DVD.

No, my repair (o-rings & LED replacments for the button & fan wheel lights) is less.

I've never seen the LCD panel go out.

Received my shop DVD from the eBay vendor last weekend. The image depicted above is the one on the vendor's eBay listing. However, the one below is the one I received. My HP laptop needs more memory to run my external Apple SuperDrive and my Apple machines should be partitioned to run Windows. All of the HP memory is external so I'll go that route. The Adobe SVG standalone program for Macs is no longer available so my fingers are crossed I will be able to view the DVD with Windows 10 Home. Hoping the DVD depicted below covers the 2004 Marauder and perhaps my Mustang? Thanks.
