Repair Manuals online, for most cars and trucks.

[dwill3015]

At this link to the Ohio Public Library System (http://www.oplin.org/auto)

enter the generic library card number

123456789

select:

Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County


then you can select the year, make, model, engine, etc.. of your vehicle and access the full repair manuals, wire diagrams, service bulletins, specifications, etc as you need them

TONS of great repair info for LOTS of vehicles!


Enjoy!

Bump bump bumpski

[MWright936]

That's great! Thanks for the info!

[Springthing]

This should be a sticky note somewhere - great resources

[mattman]

Thanks for the info! This might help my son with his 85 toyota pickup and a frozen crankshaft pulley bolt.

[MWright936]

I just tried to go back to the site and the "Auto Repair and Reference Center" wasn't there anymore. What happened?

[dwill3015]

Not sure what happened here. I will lock the thread until it becomes available again.

[MrShorty]

I don't know what happened to the Ohio Public Library set up. I do know that several years ago, my local library was considering subscribing to a similar service. At the time, because I was always in there looking things up in the print manuals and checking them out when I could, they gave me a generic login and asked me to look at a subscription service they were considering and see what my opinion was. The login they gave me was only good during the trial/evaluation period (maybe that's what happened here, I don't know).

If you liked that service, my advice would be to go to your local library and see if they subscribe to a similar service. You may find that you already have access to a service like this. And if you don't, you could ask the librarians to look into such a subscription.

[dwill3015]

Good advice!

[tahoe freak]

great site!!!!!!!!!!

[BlueLT1500]

seems to be working again......what a great resource....very cool

[dwill3015]

Bump! She's working great!

[Jazbo]

That Was the Ticket:money: Thank you sooooo much. Had all the veiws I needed and more, now I can put all the other thing back together I shouldnt have taken apart:lol:

[henrys021500hd]

I tried to go on the library site but the Auto repair link was not there. Henry

[dwill3015]

Yeah, it dissapeared once before then was back a few days later.

[henrys021500hd]

Thanks Darcy, I will try again in a few days, Henry.

[EagleTalons]

How long has it been gone now?

[Jazbo]

It's still gone as of today:( That was an awesome site. Is there any way to find the site anywhere else? Or info on how to con my local library into getting that link?

[dwill3015]

I tried through my local library but could not find my library card to access the site but I would think that it would be available through other library networks.

[henrys021500hd]

Here is another library site I found,
http://www.bedlib.org/ebsco.html, use library in both areas, Henry.

[Jazbo]

You need a user name and login for this one.

[accesshero]

This manual is great ... I have been going through it and its a good to have .. I think I will get a paperback copy .. In the meantime I highly recommend this link ...

AccessHero :glasses:

[henrys021500hd]

After the link I stated USE "library" in both areas, for user ID and password. Henry.

[dwill3015]

Three cheers for Henry!!! That worked like a charm and is easier to access than the way i posted!

[trenchwarfare]

Still can't find it. What am I doing wrong?

[dwill3015]

Here is another library site I found,
http://www.bedlib.org/ebsco.html, use library in both areas, Henry.

Click the link in Henry's post and then click the link for the Auto repair and it will ask you for log-in and a password. Use the word "library" for both and you get right in!

[trenchwarfare]

Thanks....

[sdavis2702]

That's freakin awesome... saved to my favorites!

[blackmax1963]

Great info on that site thanks.

[Jazbo]

The library login and password has been taken out of service again:(

[dwill3015]

Go to the first post in this thread and you can get in that way. I just tried it and it is working. sometimes one works and the other does not.

[Darstedly]

OK - call me stupid. Neither link works for me. I suppose I'll have to try again in a few days :happy:

Hi all

I'm trying to navigate to my truck manual but have been unable to reach it.
When I go to the link, enter my library card # then go to the dropdown menu, there is no Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County listed.
There are a couple others there that I have tried but I have not found the link to the automotive service resource.
I'm seeing that it may be up or down depending on the day. Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks!

[trailblazer58]

Thanks so much for that! What a great and easy to use resource!

:money:

[trailblazer58]

must be something wrong. The drop down menu was there for me just like he said. I would try again. maybe the site was being worked on.

[rubenalonzo]

Awesome!!!! Bumpitty Bump!!!

[unplugged]

THE LINK IS BROKE. LOOKS LIKE THE OPLIN HAS REDESIGNED THEIR SITE.

I tried to find the link while navigating the site and couldn't find it.

Please repost the link. Otherwise, AutoZone.com (http://www.autozone.com/autozone/) has some of the same info available.

[dwill3015]

For sure. I'm sorry to see this as well as I have used it many times. An alterbative is to access your local library online with your library card for auto repair databases. Mine is Chilton's online.

[dwill3015]

I am un-locking this thread because thanks to jbeall (Josh), it works again and has tons of repair info available!

Thanks again Josh!!!

Well, I just found the new link--but you can thank all those that pay taxes in Ohio for making the Ohio Public Library system provide this service ;-)

[jbeall]

Oh, one odd thing I just noticed--I went there, entered the generic library card number of 123456789, and then it told me "invalid card number."

I deleted my cookies, went back and clicked on the link to oplin.org/auto again, entered the number again, and it worked.

So if anybody else gets that error, maybe try deleting your cookies, closing the browser, them opening it and going to oplin.org/auto again.

It seems to be broken again.
