2009 Ford Taurus X Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2009 Ford Taurus X documents a four-door wagon sold as an Eddie Bauer, a Limited or an SEL, three trims, and powered in every case by the naturally aspirated 3.5L DOHC V6 on gasoline. Because the engine and body do not vary, the procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics can be followed straight through for any of the three trims, and the wagon body is covered as a whole rather than as an option.
