Do Chilton manuals have complete electrical charts?
 

My daughter wants to be able to work on her '98 Civic LX manual. She
found a Chilton manual at
http://www.delmarlearning.com/browse...=AU&cat2ID=CHM
and thinks I should know if it will have complete electrical schematics.

Anybody know? Is there a better choice?

Thanks,
Chris Beall

the factory manual is always a much better choice. I know they cost
substantially more but they're worth it.

I have had spotty success with Haynes and Chilton. Check at your local
library - if they have Mitchell manuals, those are one of my favorites.

the only book I can think of that has what you want is the factory
electrical manual, not the factory service manual. You really should get
both for the complete picture. Available at www.helminc.com last time I
checked.
