Wiring diagrams
A couple of sources of detailed electrical wiring diagrams come to mind:
* Autozone.com provides free access to an extensive "Repair Guide" which includes many wiring diagrams
* Manuals & dedicated wiring diagram books - Chilton's, Haynes, Mitchell are 3 big names in the area of vehicle repair information
* The local library will have many of these manuals on the shelf - TIP: take a few dollars in coins to feed the copy machine
Not likely to find it anywhere but in a Ford factory service manual. You do have a owners manual for fuses and such that will get to most problems.
You can go to Autozone.com. They have online manuals you can view for free, you just have to enter the make and model of the vehicle you are inquiring about

Though is it is not complete, it is the best that I can find so far.
Haynes Manual would be your best option here. It's about $16 at auto store.
i have a 96 merc. sable. the Taurus is basically the same, but my fuse box is under the steering wheel on the bottom of the dash where all of the wires are. try to look under the dash on the left side. hope this helps. the diagram is there or in the manual. My 1996 Ford Taurus has a fuse box in the front engine compartment above the radiator. However, it is not clear what each is for? Chilton repair manual has most electrical diagrams and can be purchased for almost all cars at autozone. Chiltons can also be contacted on-line and definitely have what you need.
Try MOTORLIT.COM Another source is Autozone.com - they have free access to Chilton's Repair Guide, which includes many wiring diagrams.
NOTE: Autozone now requires free registration to access the repair guides. More than worth the extra effort for these photo/illustrated instructions.
One source of some wiring diagrams is Autozone.com - they provide free access to an extensive Repair Guide (Chilton's?), including many wiring diagrams.

In a haynes manual available at NAPA stores.
Try AutoZone.com They have some wiring info. Also you can get manuals from Mercury but this could be a bit expensive.

Hope this is some help.

No color diagrams, but a really good "colorful" description of the radio/stereo wiring connections.See "Related Questions" below, which include wiring connections and a detailed procedure for installing a new stereo.
I just today resolved a very very similar situation with my 98 DOHC Sable. The plastic/nylon vacuum hose-tubes were so brittle they were just shattering into pieces.Anyways... back to YOUR question...The vacuum diagrams were invaluable to deciphering the problem and then devising the fix.If the vacuum diagrams are not on a label in the engine compartment, Autozone.com has hundreds of them for the all the various Taurus / Sable model years and engines in their FREE online Repair Guide.You'll have to do the free registration thing to get access but well worth the effort. Enter the specifics for your vehicle (model/year/engine size/etc) and save it to your profile.Click on "Repair Guide" and then "Driveability and Emissions Controls" - that's where you'll find the vacuum diagrams...
No, a Generation 2 (1992-1995) Taurus/Sable Windshield will NOT fit a Generation 3 (1996-1999) Ford Taurus/Sable.
99% sure the Taurus radiator will be a perfect match to the Sable's.
No. 2000 Taurus and Sable are the only interchange.
No - the Taurus-Sable was significantly redesigned in 1996.
1995 Taurus - Sable front speakers are 6.5 and back are 6 x 9
There are a number of sources of auto repair information on-line.My favorite, due to the comprehensive & illustrated content, plus the fact it's FREE, is Autozone.comFor Taurus/Sables, be sure to check out the Taurus Car Club of America site - see Related Links below
Yes they will fit.
