Want this question answered?
It sounds like you need a new serpentine fan belt.
try tightening the tension pully works like a charm
I was looking at the 1998 Mercury Mountaineer Owner Guide and it doesn't give the answer , but it should be (79.5 litres / 21 U.S. gallons or close to that , like it is on my 1995 Ford Explorer XLT )
The logo has three v like lines that suggest mountains.
if it sounds like growling it is a wheel bearing.
I would like to know where the resistor is located on a 2001 mercury mountainneer, thank you. E-mail me at MicbossNYC@Yahoo.com My name is Mike.
This sounds like the same trouble I have with my 1998 Mountaineer. See my answer under related questions. My friendly Ford - Lincoln - Mercury Dealer wanted almost $400.00 now the CD player is dead too.
Give the belt a couple of quick, short tugs to relieve the tension. The belt is most likely jammed. Then if it releases, pull it out slowly. If you pull the belt out too fast, it will often lock up. My mistake, I thought seat belt. The pulley that doesn't connect to anything like the crank or alternator is the tension pulley. It is spring loaded. Some have a place for a ratchet to go or you pry against the housing or the pulley itself as long as you don't pinch the belt. Relieve the tension and slip the belt off of another pulley and release the tension.
i would like to know that too. can some one please anwer it???
Maybe the belt tension is too tight. This very same thing happen to me on a 92 Jeep Cherokee. Is the belt the right belt ? Length , width and design Check your routing If you did not move any components ( fly wheel ???? ) then look at the belt. looks like you got to change the belt again anyway get a belt from a dealership
You don't. The serpentine belt tension is automatically maintained by the tensioner pulley, which is an idler pulley located on the passenger side of the system and looks like it doesn't drive anything. If the belt tension is incorrect, the tensioner pulley must be replaced. If the question meant 'how to release tension from the belt' (for removal, etc.), this is done by applying the correct size socket wrench to the tensioner pulley's center nut and rocking the pulley away from the belt.
