Good source for factory manuals?
Good source for factory manuals?
Anyone have any suggestions for getting them other than the dealership? Also, how many books are in a complete set? I've seen a 2-volume repair manual set and a singe manual for electrical wiring, are there any more? Thanks!

I've seen the electrical wiring diagrams as low as $39, Parts catalog at $109, Owners manual, with guide and guide supplement and leather case for $25, and a 3 volume set of factory repair manuals for $149, all on eBay, some come with the leather case some don't. I can try to find what both of you are looking for but I don't know what year sc's you guys have.

At least with the 1994 SC models there are three volumes in the set, with a separate electrical volume showing the wiring. From my experience the printed version is easier to use than files on your computer. But, usually more expensive to have the hard copies. Lots of pages to search through, here's what they look like.
i believe the 98+ are 2 volumes with an additional electrical manual (its possible there is a 3rd but ive never seen it). i have the 2000 version (i have 99s) and it is well worth the investment if you can get your hands on them. the manuals have probably saved me a couple grand in labor/diagnostic charges alone.
