Title: How to find FREE exploded views of your vehicle
Post by: Darren M on September 14, 2015, 09:11:25 AM
I realize this is more of a "life hack" but I figured I'd share and try to "pay it forward/back" since I've learned so much from this forum.

So, if you ever want an exploded view of your vehicle, specifically body panels, interior, etc. Give ebay a try. I know it sounds weird but MANY items are displayed as a "blue print" item from a Ford DVD rather than the actual picture.

Hopefully this link (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&selfil=2%2C3%2C1%2C4%2C5&_sop=15&mvsub=1&_mcatda=true&selvel=Ford~Taurus~2015~SHO%2520Sedan%25204-Door~3.5L%25203496CC%2520213Cu.%2520In.%2520V6%2520GAS%2520DOHC%2520Turbocharged&_nkw=OEM%20Ford%20Taurus%202015%20SHO%203.5L) will provide a sufficient example. (Warning: I don't know how long that link will be valid. IF it ever fails, just look for a grommet, rivet, etc on the body panel you're needing a view of.

Caveat emptor: These images aren't the best and may not be exactly what you need, but they are better than nothing.

fordparts.com is where these diagrams are drawn from originally.  But I have definitely found EBay helpful MANY times when I know the name of the part I am looking for, reverse engineering if you will :)  Ford's naming convention can be "citpyrc".

LOL. Nice ploy on words.
