The Ford P.A.T.S. (Passive Anti-Theft System) on a 1999 5.0L 2WD 4-door Mercury Mountaineer disables the engine's ability to start if the correct key with the embedded transponder is not used. If a non-authorized key is detected, the system prevents the fuel injectors from activating, effectively immobilizing the vehicle. This security feature helps deter theft by ensuring that only keys programmed to the vehicle can start the engine.
You can find the five digit numbers for the keypad on a 2006 Mercury Mountaineer in the owners manual. You can also call the dealership and ask for a the code or take the vehicle in for a new code to be programmed.
This is up to the dealer doing the job, count on $100 US

In 1999 it may or may not have one. If it has a thick black head with the hole in the head of the key being offset, then it is probably a chip key. If the hole is in the center top of the key or completely metal then it is not a chip key.
Mine does not, but it may depend on what options the vehicle came with.
