Usually means the car has a tilt (adjustable) steering wheel.
There are two metal things that hold on to the wheel when the tilt is adjusted. They probably broke off.
The wheel tilt, or tilt steering mechanism, on a 1997 Mercury Villager is located on the steering column. To adjust it, look for a lever or a knob typically found under the steering wheel. This lever allows you to tilt the steering wheel up or down for a more comfortable driving position. If you have trouble finding it, consult the vehicle's user manual for specific instructions.
You have broken wires in the tilt wheel. You will need to take the steering wheel off and start looking for a broken wire in the steering column somewhere. You will have to have a steering wheel puller to get it off.
For the 1997 Mercury Villager, the limited tilt steering wheel is very limited. This is likely due to design constraints.
