Online Service Manual
Posted: Tue Sep 06, 2016 2:46 am
OK so found this on another forum so do not know how long it will stay active but it appears to be a free service at a library that gives access to manufactures service manuals (at least in the case of the Caprice). I checked a few items from the online service manuals my employer pays hundreds a month for and they seem to be identical in content just navigating them is a bit more difficult. I can give some tips in this area if anyone is interested. Only thing it is lacking is updated campaign and TSB info.
EDIT: THey have installed a new Database called Auto Repair Source in there that is very good. Search by a key term say "headlight" and you will get the repair and install procedures, TSB's, labor times, and wiring diagrams.
Here is the instructions to access:
EBSCO Auto Repair Reference Center. You can locate the Auto Repair Source by
going here:

For Wiring Diagrams and Updated TSB's this link seems to have the goods:
EDIT: They now require you to submit info to get a link to the wiring diagrams. Good to have as a backup but use the above service while it is active much easier to search and find stuff
Recently got an email from these guys and they have password protected the database but they seem to give out one of the workers person email and password!! LOL very secure:
