How much hp is in a 98 mountaineer awd 5.0?
According to the 1998 Mercury Mountaineer Owner Guide :
The 5.0 , V8 is rated at ( 215 horsepower at 4200 RPM and 288 lb.ft. torque at 3300 RPM )
Why would the heater on a 1998 Mercury Mountaineer blow only cold air?
Worst case:SOunds like your heater core could be blocked. If it never blows warm air then I suspect it is blocked. Antifreeze flows through the heater core like a miniature radiator. There is usually an inlet tube and outlet tube. If your heater core has corroded due to lack of maintenance on the cooling system, then no water will flow through the heater core.
Best case:Or you may have a switch that will not allow the hot water to enter the heater core. I would check the switch first. Some switches work off of vacuum, some work from mechanical means with levers and some are electric. A door or flap sould open to allow the hot air to come into the cabin. If that flap or door is not opening, then that may be your problem.
Ford added a heater valve in 02. This is a vacuum actuated valve that cuts off flow of coolant through the heater core when max AC is requested. Your model should just have coolant flowing directly into the core at all times. A simple check of the flow is to feel both heater hoses going into the firewall from a cold start. The hoses should warm up at about the same rate and get uncomfortably hot. This is a good indication that heat is getting into the passenger compartment.
If it appears that the core is getting hot, the next suspect is the blend door. This door diverts some or all of the air flow through the heater core and commonly fails on the Mountaineer/Explorer/Ranger/Mazda pickup...all of which use the same plenum box. The door is on a vertical axis and has a pervasive problem with the the plastic connection to the motor breaking. The door can swing back and forth randomly or wedge in a strange position, killing heat and AC efficiency. This is an expensive dealer repair, but there is an aftermarket repair kit from HeaterTreater that will address and solve the problem. Complete diagnostic information and diagrams are available.
Check the blend door motor. Remove glove box, there's a plastic case/box motor 3"X4" in there. If the plug-in is lose and wiggles around re-soder. I had this problem and now works (replaced the blend door also) Check out Heater Theater for sure...
How do you open Highfield locks?
Obviously a Highfield key would be your best option. If you don't have one, or your key broke, you might be able to open it with a nail. The newer locks seem to have a stiffer spring that makes it near impossible to open without a key.
You will need a medium-small finishing nail and pliers (preferably Vice-Grips) with a cutter or a separate cutting tool. Hold the pointed end of the nail with the pliers about 1/4" to 1/2" up. You should be able to bend the nail over the pliers by hand. You want to create a 90 degree 'L' shape. Then, with your cutting tool, cut of most of the tip of the nail. This should leave you with a small stub sticking out.
Put the stub end all the way into the hole of the lock. You will feel a spring along the edges. Your goal is to hook the bottom of the spring and compress it back towards you. That will release the pressure on the 2 metal balls that hold the lock shut. I would recommend holding the nail with vice-grips.
If the nail bends back out of shape, you either need a thicker nail, or you're working with a newer lock. If you can't get the stub into the lock, you need a thinner nail, or you need to cut the stub down more.
Most Highfield locks are in use by utility (gas mostly) companies. In my area, I believe it is technically against the law to remove their locks. However, If you have a new tenant moving into a place in the evening or on the weekends you don't have much choice. They charge a $15 fee to remove the lock, turn the gas on and do a pressure test. They charge the same here if I remove the lock myself. You may want to find out what they do about people who remove locks in your area before doing so. The water companies here charge a $90 penalty if I turn the water on myself. Make sure you call them and put the gas in your name or your tenants name before removing the lock or ASAP.

What would prevent the cruise control from working on a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer?
#1 pressing brakes turns off cruise #2 switch on master cylinder sends current #3 don't know if that is separate from brake light bulbs current but seems to be #4 mechanic replaced leaky/bad switch on mine and it functions
The IAT sensor measures the temperature of the intake nmanifold. The ECM uses this sensor reading to set injection timing and adjust the air-fuel ratio. If the fuel mileage and power output of you engine seem low, some owners have found improvement in EGT, fuel economy, and power after cleaning carbon from the IAT sensor in at the rear of the intage manifold. Engine with exhaust brakes are particularly prone to IAT sensor fouling because soot is blown back into the intake during valve overlap.
The only tool you need is a 3/8" ratchet with a 6" extension and 13/16" socket. View of IAT from above battery Closer view of the IAT sensor The IAT sensor is found on the driver's side of the engine, almost at the back of the intake manifold. Unplug the electrical connector from the sensor. You will need to spread the connect tab away from the sensor body to unplug the sensor. After the connector has been removed, use a 13/16" deep well socket, 6" extension, and ratchet to unscrew the sensor from the manifold. Photo of a dirty IAT sensor The sensor on the left had 20,000 miles on it, and it was covered with soot. After a shot of carburator cleaner, you can see the sensor element inside the cage. Screw the clean IAT sensor back into the manifold, torque it to 10 ft-lb, and reattach the connector. Photo of a clean IAT sensor
Normal IAT Sensor resistance values:
Temperature Resistance 30� 40K 32� 30k to 36k ohms 76� 13K ohms 77� 9k to 11k ohms 81� 6.87K ohms 122� 3k to 4k ohms 130� 4K ohms 167 600 to 675 ohms 212 600 to 675 ohms
Replacement Sensor:
Cummins PN 3408345, around $28.
Dodge PN 05014197AA Sensor, Temperature (SEN, TEM), around $18.
How do you reset the change oil message on a 2005 Mercury Mountaineer?
on the dash there should be three buttons info, setup and reset one of those you press a few times and should show reset oil
First turn the key to the run position (dash lights on and gauges on) you do not have to start the car. Now look for the "info" button. Push the info button until you see "push set for system check". Then push the "set" button After you push "set" you will see the oil life setting. Mine was at 0% life remaining. Now push the "set" button for 5 to 10 seconds until you hear a beep. Then the oil life will show 100%. Start the car and the oil change warning should be off. If not just retry the procedure. Where i made my mistake was in not holding the set button down long enough. Both the info and set button are in the center of the dash near the radio.
The nozzle of the sprayer may be plugged. Try sticking the end of a pin into the hole and working it around. Pour hot water over the nozzle and hose and tap them sharply a couple of times, then run the squirters.
If you press the stick and don't hear anything then your wiper motor is faulty or you've blown a fuse.
Also-humming noise when push to spray, maybe motor ok but I used hose to spray in water tank and hose sprayed lines to see if all going threw. maybe line clogged.
How do you open your hatch from the inside of your 1997 Mercury Mountaineer?
I'm thinking that you're talking about your rear "trunk" door. If so, from my understanding, you cannot open it from the inside. To double check this, you can look in the owner's manual for your vehicle.
