Ford Freestar 2004–2007 Service & Owner Manual Set

Use the workshop sections for component repair and diagnosis, the owner’s guide for vehicle operation and routine care, and the towing sheets for equipment-dependent trailer ratings.

Repair coverage follows 2005 configurations. General engine inspection methods and climate-control diagnosis are cross-referenced to sections outside this set. The transmission text also calls for a separate Transaxle Reference Manual.

PDF Files, Search and Wiring Detail

Search and diagram access: The owner’s guide supports text search and has chapter and index bookmarks. The towing PDF supports text search without bookmarks. The 30 workshop PDFs have neither text search nor embedded bookmarks. Small wiring labels require zooming; the ground-distribution figure caption on PDF p. 29 of the wiring file is partly clipped.

The ZIP contains 32 printable PDFs totaling 3,286 pages, including a wiring-section title page and six numbered blank pages at the end of the owner’s guide.

Powertrain, Chassis and Electrical Repair

The following selected topics show the range of work covered, rather than a complete table of contents. Other sections include accessory-drive belt replacement and speed-control diagnosis.

• Engine repair: Step-by-step engine removal and installation, cylinder-head work, timing-drive service, internal disassembly and reassembly.

• Automatic transaxle: 4F50N electrical and hydraulic diagnosis, line-pressure and stall-speed tests, valve-body service and internal overhaul.

• Brakes and suspension: ABS pinpoint tests, traction-control and stability-assist systems, disc-brake replacement, strut service and wheel-alignment procedures.

• Steering and halfshafts: Power-steering pump, gear and line replacement, plus front halfshaft inspection and removal procedures.

• Climate control: EMTC and EATC component operation, actuator and sensor replacement, and A/C compressor, clutch and shaft-seal service.

• Supplemental restraints: RCM connector references, DTC tables, circuit tests, airbag and safety-canopy replacement, and OCS rezeroing procedures.

• Body electrical systems: Power-window, door-lock, exterior-lighting, starter and wiper diagnosis, with component illustrations and system wiring diagrams.

The workshop sections suit technicians experienced in circuit testing and component overhaul who have access to a compatible diagnostic tool; the owner’s guide also covers basic owner maintenance.

Engine and 4F50N Overhaul

The engine material covers the 3.9L and 4.2L OHV V6 engines, including intake manifold runner control, hydraulic valve tappets and the balance shaft. Separate in-vehicle, teardown and assembly sections distinguish component access from internal engine work.

Transmission diagnostic flowcharts connect road-test symptoms with electrical checks and hydraulic testing before teardown. Clutch and band application charts, exploded assemblies and component-specific specifications support parts identification and inspection during overhaul.

Alignment and Driveline Service

Suspension coverage extends to camber, caster and toe adjustment, front spring-and-strut disassembly, rear springs and hub assemblies. ABS documentation distinguishes systems with traction control and stability assist and supplies sensor and module connector views.

The halfshaft section treats worn or damaged assemblies as replacement units. It warns that overextending an inboard CV joint can damage the joint, a handling issue addressed alongside the removal procedures.

EMTC, EATC and A/C Components

The climate-control material explains single- and dual-zone blend-door arrangements, mode-door operation and blower-speed regulation. EATC descriptions connect its vacuum fluorescent display and onboard DTC function with in-vehicle and solar sensors, vehicle-speed information and engine-coolant-temperature inputs.

Compressor instructions distinguish PAG compressor lubrication from mineral oil used for O-ring seals. Clutch, field-coil and shaft-seal procedures include component illustrations and the required special tools.

SRS and Circuit Diagnosis

OCS information distinguishes service kits for base, heated and climate-controlled passenger seats. Early- and late-build safety-canopy modules are not interchangeable, and separate replacement procedures address these configurations.

RCM pin-identification references and circuit-test illustrations support restraint fault diagnosis. SRS work involves pyrotechnic devices and sensitive electronics; the manual’s depowering, backup-power depletion and handling precautions are essential.

Wiring examples include the Automatic A/C Circuit, Anti-lock Brakes Circuit, Starting Circuit, Supplemental Restraints Circuit and Power Windows Circuit. Body sections add remote-keyless-entry programming, rear-window grid repair and ignition-switch fault isolation.

Selected Seat and A/C Service Specifications

The restraint torque table lists backrest-to-seat-track bolts at 58 Nm (43 lb-ft). The OCS section recommends 10–29°C (50–85°F) for best results when rezeroing the system.

The A/C specifications give a pulley-to-clutch-plate air gap of 0.35–0.75 mm (0.014–0.030 in), alongside the clutch inspection and service procedures.
