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.
