Aren't the S4 and S5 factory service manuals availabe online for downloading?

 

PM returned. I think you'd be surprised about the people wanting the whole zipped version. I know the first thing I did when I found out about the S4 version was download the whole thing, and the first thing I did when dad decided to get a FB is to download the whole FSM..

This will be a vital part of their collection. I may be able to make a PDF version of it, once you get it uploaded.

 

At least in the S5 FSM there are basic wiring diagrams printed. However, Mazda made a seperate book to cover the details. And that is what is hosted. I have never seen the wiring diagrams for the S5 anywhere.

BTW - you should consider converting this to .pdf format like the Service manual. That way you have 1 document (or set of documents), not 500 pictures.

Thanks

I would like to but I don't have the full version of the pdf software...so I am SOL on that. However, the pictures are laid out in a easy way to find them...at least I think so Wonko said he might be able to convert it over...

 

Great job. It's funny, I was literally thinking last week: You know if I was really motivated, I could scan my 91 Wiring Diag book -- I'm sure people would find it useful.

Glad I didn't bother!

Just a note to all those out there -- even though it's available electronically now, if you ever have the opportunity to buy the real thing, DO IT. Saves countless hours and well worth the money! Of course w/ the electronic version, you can print off what you want and if you tear it up or get it dirty, it's no big deal -- so that's a bonus too!

 

You don't need the full version, download www.cutepdf.com. Just copy the pictures into Microsoft Word (or similar) and "print to .pdf format."

I just did the "ABS & Cruise" section in 5 minuets, here's what it looks like:

Note you should consider tweeking your pictures first (see link below) so they're easy to read including:
- digitially trim off the borders
- digitally brighten the picture so it's easier to read
- re-sample the pictures to 8"x10.5" size
- convert the picture to .gif format so the .pdf file is smaller
- set Microsoft Outlook's margins all to 0 inches.

For tweeking the pictures I like using Paint Shop Pro:

I have a .pdf version in the works, it will have bookmarks (indexed) to make everything easier. Hopefully I'll get it done tomorrow afternoon and can have it uploaded onto one site or another by tomorrow night or tuesday.

If the book can be hosted somewhere the pictures will stay available for years, then I'll put a copy in the archives. Otherwise, it can't be archived as I'm sick of seeing red X's in archived topics...

 

Full indexed .pdf is complete. Me or someone else will post if it can get hosted. Until then, I guess i can send it over AIM

 

Big Mike, PM me for my e-mail i'll host it for now.

thanks a bunch santiago!

 

well I had to do it because wankel is a local friend and he should have just ASKED ME to do it in the first place :P

 

Aaron - I plan on having this domain name for a while, so it should be no problem to archive the thread.

I'm copying Santiago's Link, so the PDF will be availible in about 20 minutes @ the location listed before.
