Could be anything from an ABS system fuse , sensor etc . malfunction
The check " gage " light on in your 1997 Mercury Mountaineer indicates that either your engine oil pressure is LOW , your engine temperature is HIGH or your gas tank is AT OR NEAR EMPTY .
If the ((ABS)) Light is on then it's a good thing indicating that the Antilock brakes sensor is in good condition. I too have a 2002 mountaineer
On a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer : The " check gage " light comes on if the engine coolant temperature is too high , the engine oil pressure is too low , or the gas gauge is at or near empty
On a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer : The " CHECK ENGINE " warning light is just to the left of the battery voltage gauge
had to replace the battery in my 2002 Mercury Mountaineer but now the theft light is blinking, it is cranking up. How can I stop it?

try changing the d.p.f.e. cost about $35,i just replaced one on a 2003 mercury mountaineer.
To reset the service engine soon light on a 2006 Mercury Mountaineer, you can buy a scan tool. Make sure you note down the numbers before scanning.
An ABS fault.
According to the 2002 Mercury Mountaineer Owner Guide : ( fuse # 24 is a 15 amp fuse for the cigarette lighter and OBD II )
Because your switch is bad, replace the light assembly
