Question
1999 Mercury mini van villager
code scanner said bad knock sensor
had to pull plenum off to get to it and the new knock sensor reads the same as the old one,now im down to a wiring harness that goes to the ECM, where do i find a wiring diagram on the Internet? please help me tnx

Answer
Jaymes,
  AlData and Mitchell on Demand offer such diagrams but you have to "join the club" to gain access to them. O'Reilly Auto Parts sells "credit cards" that give you access to "on line repair" for 1 vehicle for various periods of time, depending on how much you pay for the card. I think they offer 3 month membership, 6 month membership and 1 year memberships.
  Why does it have to be off the Internet? Any Public Library I have ever been in has a "Reference Section". In that section, they have automotive books that may the information you need. You can't check out the books but you can photocopy any pages you need and take them home to trace the wires.
  In closing, please note in my bio, I'm a Parts Specialist, not a tech but I hope this helps you. Good luck.

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
