I just want to warn everyone about these manuals. Yes they are helpful and provide A LOT of good information. However, they aren't always made by the best mechanics, and they do not cover every part of the vehicle (try to find the resonator box for the accord in the hayne's manual). Here is my problem with the Hayne's Manuals:
I know one of the mechanics that used to work with Hayne's to make these manuals. They will rent the car from a rent-a-car company for two weeks and do a complete tear down on the vehicle. However, the mechanic I know who did work on a lot of the Hayne's manuals is not a well educated mechanic. In fact, he isn't even a mechanic anymore. This mechanic used to ask my dad for help on cars because he couldn't figure out the problems. His diagnosis skills were unacceptable, let alone useless.
(Just so you know, my dad is a Master Mechanic and owns his own shop. He has worked as a mechanic since he was 16. My dad knows his stuff. It's the reason why he was the highest paid mechanic in California when he was working at a stealership.)
I am not saying that Hayne's Manuals are useless. They are great manuals that provide a lot of helpful information. Just be careful because the mechanics who made them were not necessarily the best mechanics.
I am not trying to argue with anyone, or cause a flame war. I am simply informing you all of some information about Hayne's that you might not know.
