It is the "Check Tire" light. If you don't have low tire pressure, perhaps you hit a hard bump, our 2004 Monterey van does this once a while. Run a system check on the dash and hit Reset when it comes to the tire choice 7 it will clear.
How do you access the Ford Freestar - Mercury Monterey minivan spare tire?
For the best, most comprehensive and illustrated information about Freestar spare tires is in the Owners Manual,under the topic "Roadside Emergencies" (2007 page #240).
The short story is to find a plastic cover in the carpeting at the back right corner of the "way back". Lift the cover to access a nut which happens to be the same size as a lugnut.
Using the van's lugnut wrench, turn the nut counter-clockwise to lower the spare tire to the ground.
There's also a warning note about van's with the low tire pressure sensor system - won't work with the temporary spare on the van.
Refer to not only the Owners Manual, but also the "Related Questions" below relating to the Windstar spare tires. Lots of good tips and hints that apply to the Freestar/Monterey vans.

How do you repair front wheel bearing on 2004-2006 Mercury Monterrey - Ford Freestar?
From what the Autozone / Chilton's Repair Guide shows on doing this, it sounds exactly like the Windstar.
The bearing is integral to the wheel hub, and is mounted to the steering knuckle with 3 15mm bolts.
The problem is that the top bolt is obstructed by the the axle - one person reports that all he did was push the axle back far enough to get a wrench on that bolt - saved having to do all the other disconnecting.
NOTE: I found 1 picture of a Freestar/Monterey hub/bearing - it appeared to have a wired sensor built into it. If true, that would be a (small?) difference between yours and the Windstars.

How do you replace the cabin air filter on a Mercury Monterey?
See related question below for the Windstar version of this question. Applies well to the Monterey and Freestar.
Look for a 10" long by 1.5" tall cover in the plastic cover / trim / housing, just engine-side of the passenger wiper blade.
Remove the cover and the filter is located just inside.

Removing the wiper cowling on a 2004 Mercury Monterey - Ford Freestar?
I just documented this on a 2001 Windstar in the "Related Question" below - and I suspect the procedure is going to very very close to the same for the Freestar / Monterey.
At the very least, it should be good start to sequencing and what to look for.
Where is the horn switch located on a 2004 Mercury Monterey?
I had the same problem, and since I couldn't find the answer here, I had to figure it out myself. Luckily, I was able to find this site again, so here's what worked for me.
Push the Setup button three times, until your driver display says something like "Press Reset for system check".
Then push Reset. The system check will start, rotating through a series of checks.
About the fifth or sixth check will be the tire pressure. It'll say something like "Hold Reset if tires are OK". While that's up, hold the Reset button. After 3 or 4 seconds, the tire warning light will click off. You need to be ready for it, because you don't get very long.
Sorry if I don't have the prompts exactly right. I remembered them the best I could, and since I held in the Reset button, I don't get the one about the tires being OK any more.
How to reset the low tire pressure warning if the vehicle does not have the "Message Center"
- turn the ignition to the ON position,
- depress and Trip/odometer button (located in the instrument cluster) until "TIRE RESET" or "CHECK TIRE AND RESET" is displayed in the odometer display window.
- Once "TIRE RESET" or "CHECK TIRE AND RESET" is displayed, press and hold the button for three seconds.
The low tire warning indicator light will flash three times as the low tire warning system begins to initialize.

How do you take the radio out of a Ford Freestar - Mercury Monterey?
Use the removal tools to pull the radio assembly out of the dash - note: you do NOT need to remove the plastic trim piece! :)
- Insert the tools into each pair of small holes on either side of the radio face
- They're all the way in when you feel them hit an indent, or a bit of 'click'
- Push the tops of the tools to the *OUTSIDE* while pulling the radio out from the dash. This is more "art" & feel than specific instructions.
- Pull the 2 wire harness connectors off & disconnect the radio antenna.
As you can imagine, re-installing is just a matter of connecting the wire harnesses & antenna - align and push the radio back in until you hear/feel the side-clips click back into place.
TIPS:
- Be sure to spend the few dollars for the wire harness kit - This saves you from having to CUT the factory wiring.
- This may take a few tries to get the radio loose, but be patient - maybe get one side at a time released and then sliding it out.

What does the check tires warning mean on mercury monterey?
Straight from the Owners Manual (see Related Questions below):
LOW TIRE WARNING - INDIRECT (IF EQUIPPED)
The low tire warning system is designed to detect a significant loss of
inflation in any one of your tires on your vehicle. The system uses the
Anti-lock brake wheel speed sensors to detect a change in wheel speed
due to tire deflation.
Resetting the indicator / warning light:

How do you depress rear caliper on a 2004 Ford Freestar?
---- You have to turn it (caliper piston) as you are depressing the piston back into the caliper. You can't just "jam" it in. I used a caliper tool (for depressing the caliper) and turned the piston with large jaw pliers. This gives both inward pressure and the turning motion. I turned it clockwise and that seemed to work. There is a special tool you can buy to turn the piston as you push it back into the body of the caliper but if you work carefully and you are VERY aware of the rubber boot (don't rip it) then pliers are ok (don't tell the Ford dealer). Cover the pliers with something so you don't scratch/ruin the piston. The front brakes are just a standard push - don't need to turn them. Why do the back brakes work this way? Has to do with the parking brake. If you look you can see that it is attached to the caliper on the rear.
Where can you find a fuse box diagram for a Mercury Monterey or Ford Freestar van?
There are 2 fuse boxes / fuse panels in nearly every Ford product: one directly above the driver's left foot (when the driver is actually sitting in the driver's seat). The other is inside the engine compartment, on the right side - contains high current fuses.
There is extensive coverage of fuses and the circuits each one protects Owners Manual.
See "Related Questions" below for sources of free online Owners Manuals for 1996+ Ford & Mercury products.
The illustrations in the Owners Manual will guide you to the specific fuse and/or relay for that function. == == Inside the fusebox cover is a small white plastic tool for pulling fuses out, along with a variety of spare fuses. Inspect the center section of the fuse to determine if it has 'blown' - it will be obvious if the metal strip has melted.
Insert a replacement fuse of the same color / amperage protection by simply pressing it into the fuse-slot. There are actually two separate covers. One is for the circuit breakers and one for the fuses. There's a tab in the center that you squeeze together and it pops off. In the cover you'll find spare fuses and a puller. If you still need to get the breaker cover off, there's a tab on the corner marked "lift". With the other cover removed, you can then unsnap the tab and wiggle it out.

How do you replace light bulb in analog style dash clock for Ford Freestar or Mercury Monterrey?
Ok guys...
I finally figured this out. I had to remove the long woodgrain trim panel on the dash first. It comes straight out. I started on the left side and gently pried it out with a screwdriver.
From there I foung that the clock/vent panel has four clips on the bottom edge. You can see the lower edges once you get the trim panel off. Push these up gently and tug on the lower edge of the vent/clock panel. The panel also has hooks on the top, so you'll have to push it down a bit to get it to release from the dash. Once out, the power plug is the only thing left. The release clip is on the lower side of the plug. Push up on it and the plug will release.
There is a bulb part number on the back of the clock - F80F-13B765-AA
Ford wants about $7.50 for this micro bulb...but the closest dealer that had one was 50 miles away. After spending a couple of hours trying to find a cross reference, I stumbled across some pictures of Audi/VW instrument bulbs...same thing! The local VW dealer had them in stock, and it works fine...for $2.69!
VW/Audi bulb part number 4A0919040C
Flosser bulb 449103
OSRAM bulb 2473MFX6
You will need to gently unroll the green bulb cover and place it on the new one.
I was going to post pics, but they are too large. Send me a note if you want me to email them to you.

Joe Previous response: I have a 2004 Mercury Monterry van and this solution should apply to many other vehicles. This solution is very easy. Use these instructions at your own risk. Please click on the hyperlink below in the "related articles" section below for an illustrated walk-thru. Note: It is only four pages but it is almost 7 megabytes. Minimal tools needed. Total time is about 20 minutes. (Including cleanup) As of October 2008, this bulb was $14.00 USD at the local Mercury dealership. Remove the nut and then pry along the edges with a flat screw driver. Start from the front and go towards the back. You may want pry on the left and right side slowly as you go towards the back. Look at the picture to see all of the clips. Disconnect the power cable to the clock. Use the flat blade screwdriver to release it before pulling it out. The white plastic cover simply pulls off incase you want to take it off. Use a socket to remove the bulb. (You could do this with your hands if you have small and strong fingers.) Tip: Put a small piece of masking tape inside the socket and it will provide just enough friction to keep the new bulb in the socket without falling out while you are trying to install it.
