Does anyone know who it is that has the 04/05 shop manual in pdf format?

Ron A

Click here, and you can request the pages you want.

I also have a factory shop service manual for 04-05 TL and would be willing to scan whatever you want (within reason) and send in pdf....

edit by mod Ron A:

I hate to be the bad guy here, but we can't allow the link to the complete scanned service manual to be shown, because of copyright laws. I would hate to see Honda, who owns the rights to the service manual, shut us down.

We shouldn't have a problem furnishing a few pages for specific requests, but free access to the entire manual is a big no-no.

Thank goodness you caught this. I quiver at the thought of infringing on honda's copyrights. Shame on those who host copies like this one:

It is exactly the kind of thing that the terrorists want!

Ron A

It is not so much the thought of infringing on Honda's copyrights, it is the fact that they could shut us down if we did that makes me quiver.

And this is right at the top of the FAQ's in the link that you gave, so apparently they quiver sometimes also.

NoSupport

Does it say who posted it? I hope it wasn't one of the moderators.

does this manuel also have the all the electrical diagrams? or is that another manuel.

Ron A

The service manual has some electrical diagrams, but there is a separate Electrical Troubleshooting Manual which can be purchased for $47.

Look in the back of your owner's manual for the available factory authorized manuals from Helm.

Anyone know where I can find all of these on a DVD or something, electrical and all? And maybe a good place to buy from?

The Elec. manual is on my X-Mas list...

Doubt they've ever been officially released electronically. The fear of inevitable internet piracy is probably why, but most people would probably pay for an electronic text + pics + search-able version than any pirate pdf version. If I could pa, say $50 bucks for and service manual in a chm format, downloaded direct from Helms, I'd do it right now. CHM FYI is the format that help files are written in, with clipboardable text, pics, links, searching, keywords, and indexes. Extremely useful, and considered standard with book in the computer programmer's world. Heck I buy the books and never even open them except to get the disc out! If I could just download directly if would save them the paper & shipping, and save me the trip to BN.

Though not much help here, Nissan/Infiniti has an online database with downloadable pdfs of their service manuals. http://www.nissan-techinfo.com/nissan/

Last time I used it, it cost $10 or $20 for a temporary membership, and I just downloaded the 3 service manual pdfs I needed. As NoSupport said, the electronic versions with their indexing and search capabilities have their advantages. It'd be nice if Honda/Acura did the same.

I came across this tonight and after a quick search, I'm somewhat surprised this hasn't been discussed beforehand, unless I overlooked something.

Thanks A-Spec, got the entire manual from the link on the other thread, now gone, but it's great to have on disk and scan / print what you want ...

gt1

Yes, it was extremely irresponsible to post the link to the manual. The person who did it should be punished! I would personally buy him a beer to poison him with alcohol!
Fortunately, some important pages are missing from the "Body Electrical" chapter of the manual. The missing pages describe audio system, HVAC display and Navi.
To make the manual easier to read someone else cut it in a separate file for each chapter and posted all the chapters here:

Thanks GT1! Much appreciated!

Scribesoft

^Ditto!

If I'm ever in the MD area, I'll buy the beer...... w/o poison, of course!

ron, do u have a 99 manual in pdf format?

Ron A

I don't have one. You might search or post in 2G TL and see if you can find anything there.

TLWay

Tried this site looking for the missing pages describing audio system, HVAC display and Navi. Didn't see anything. Have they been removed already?

NoSupport

Sounds like a conspiracy. I sure hope nobody releases a hi-res OCR'd indexed search-able TIFF file of it. That would surely turn my stomach. If I wasn't a good christian boy, I'd be huffing obscenities.

mamboking

NoSupport, I would hate you very very much with all my heart if I ever came across the missing electrical systems pages.
Just the thought of it is making me nausceous!!!

NoSupport

Well, if I do stumble upon them, I probably will shield this forum from their evils. I don't think I'll be posting on her for a while. Soopa was bein a prick, and hurt my feelings. Remember the funny 'Supreme Moderator' avatar I had, well, he thought it was misleading, so I changed it to this ftp://acurazine:acurazine@txrx.dyndn...ine/avatar.png to include his feelings. Then, he deleted it. Soopa thinks hes a moderator but my hunch is his avatar is really just misleading. He's also banning breasts or something, but he wouldn't elaborate. I believe in free speech (ACLU MEMBER), but legally, acurazine doesn't have to. too bad.

I'd love to have this OCR'd and as a searchable PDF. If anyone could provide some insight as the steps needed and software required, I'd be glad to contribute a chapter.
