Seems to be downloading currently, but I have a legit question. These manuals are from Helm I'm guessing (they in turn get them from Ford obviously), I've never got anything from them before. What's involved in removing whatever they have in there that's designed to prevent exactly what we're doing?
Yes, from Helm.

I'm not going to discuss what needed to be done on here since this very thread is really pushing it with all the discussions about it. Be glad the site owner even allowed me to post it :D

Other than standard issue copy-right laws and warnings associated... nothing. However, this doesn't mean that Ford wont chase you down for a bit-torrent though... nor does it mean they will.

These manuals are written by Ford and published for Ford by HELM North America. On a side note: I have purchase a FULL set of service manuals with every new car I have ever owned, since 1987... and all of these were of HELM's efforts.



Sure did. I think i will just order it directly from Helm, in paper.
Good luck with the paper if you are after the FULL service manuals. They don't do that any more. You can get an ST wiring diagram and some of the supplement guides in paper, but not the whole enchilada. The only thing available for the FULL service manuals are of the electronic variety... that being either a CD/DVD (2014 P/N: FCS1302114; $170.00) or a subscription (various; $10.95-$109.95). Helm Incorporated: Product Search Engine

I actually have always been a paper bound cat when it comes to this subject matter. However, when I purchased my 2012... I only found that they did the FULL in electronic. But... I'm actually liking that part now... if I have a need, I print out what I need. If it gets dirty with the job (as you know how that works) then I just trash it if need be.

Anyway...
 
yea, I ran into this issue with the Jeep (2006). I was lucky to get a complete part listing for the Jeep electronicly. So I have downloaded these things before. Well I will start looking at the "site" and see what I can get in paper and e-format. ;)

01 and 04 Focus I have the paper versions with extras. Nothing better than a book you can hold in your hands and know where to crack it open without using an index.
 
When I click on any of the download tabs, magnet tab, and so forth it takes me to a page of code or a "cannot display page" page. I tried your magnet link to and got a blank page. any solutions?

You're ISP may be blocking torrent downloads. If the problem persists then shoot me a PM and I'll get back to you.
 
Awesome Ocysp! Thanks for all your hard work!

I followed the instructions, downloaded and installed everything, and I can get it all to work except for the wiring diagrams. Any time I try to click on a wiring diagram category, I get this odd error message and the diagram never pops up:



Any ideas?

Thanks again!
 
Figured out my problem with not being able to view the wiring diagrams after some PMs back and forth with Ocysp. I simply had to run the tsobrowser.exe file as an administrator and now the wiring diagrams pop right up.

If you're having some odd issues after following the install instructions in the original post, make sure you are running the browser as an admin and see if that resolves it.

Again Ocysp, thanks for not only for going through all the work to give us this great resource, but also be willing to troubleshoot the install, too. If you're ever in the Portland area, I owe you a beer or two.

Grabbing this before it goes away. Thanks! :)
 
Nice, just downloaded the manuals, and soon will install it. First thing I will be looking for is all the splices between the PCM and various sensors under the hood.
 
Hi all,

I'm new here and came because of this manual. I'm lucky to have Focus 2014 but only EcoBoost 1.0L 125HP (93kW), not ST.
Thanks for this manual but only HTML version works for me for now. I tried installing from FFManual.zip on XP and Windows 7 (both in Oracle VirtualBox VM) and none of them started. The same occurred in pure XP. I got "Runtime error" and couldn't start the program. Could it be because of my system language (PL)? I don't think so, but who knows.

Ocysp, do you have another version of manual with my engine?
 
Hey guys I just downloaded the manual and I am curious if anybody else gets a blank page when you go to look at a connector picture? I don't think I downloaded anything wrong any help is appreciated.

Did you install the.... forgot the name of it already. The .exe file that I had included? Svgviewer I think it was called? It won't be able to view the diagrams unless that is installed.
 
Ocysp, is there any functional difference in the electrical and mechanical systems between the 2013 and my 2014 St ? I really don't want to buy the Helm CD if this one will work. Thanks, Jim
 
I went to D/L this manual and even though I declined it downloaded 3 other programs including some toolbar mods I didnt want then rebooted my PC... Beware you may get more than you asked for.
