My mountaineer does the same thing when there is high humidity or it has rained alot. Once things dry out it is ok again. It must be a loose wire or faulty door switch that is humidity sensitive.
Pull the key out just a little and the chime will stop. It may be controlledfrom the radio

i reconnected my battery of mountaineer 2005 and radio is asking for code, i wasnt able to find it any where...how to solve this issue
There is no actual "chime" for the backup warning. The chime is generated by the radio just like the "KEY IN IGNITION" or the "HEADLAMPS ON" chime. The Rear Parking Assist Moudle sends a signal to the BCM which requests the proper chime for the Radio to produce in the speaker(s).
if no warning and it just shuts down but dash lights and radio light up check ignition switch
behind the radio, to the left
it doesn't go down.

i have mercury mountaineer 2004 i remove first the cover around the radio is a press ion when you remove you have to take 4 screw 2 in left 2 in right them put in front slow them disconnected the harness and antenna .
As soon as a battery cable is removed ( negative first ) the computer programming is disrupted . The vehicle will need to relearn its idle , the preset radio stations will need to be reset etc.
You need a special tool. Take it to most businesses that installs radio,s and they should have the tool.
Its on the right side of the hood. It runs under the hood and through the firewall to the back of the radio
