Automotive readers have rated 2004 Ford Explorer Owners Manual 4.8 out of 5.0 based on 8 product reviews. looking for the fuse box inside
Gave 5 stars, because if this actually works, I will be very happy! Fingers crossed it downloads...
Thank you need manual got the info I need

Glad there is actually a download worth downloading. Very handy if you don't have an original manual.
This is a big help. My car didn't come with you and I need a fuse diagram
Must have if your car didn't come with one.
