Mercury Mountaineer

The easiest way to reset the antitheft system in your 1998 Mercury is to remove the antitheft system fuse. Keep the fuse out for 10 seconds and then replace it to its original position.

In a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer :

The fuel pump relay is in the power distribution box ( which is " live )

located in the engine compartment , on the drivers side , near the firewall

It is relay # 6 ( one of the large relays , in the second row from the drivers

side , and second large relay from the FRONT end of the box )

Check in this order: Fuse, switch, spindle/tightness of arm, motor, wiring. See the Sources and Related Links section below for rear wiper blade information.

There is an actuator at the left rear of the passenger compartment. The plastic gears get stripped or broken and when the rear air or heat is activated a servo which is trying to make ajustments to the rear control is clunking when trying to move the gears. There is more than one actuator used in these models, so to replace it you will need to access that area and either remove the broken one and take it to the parts man or let your dealer fix it. If you can stop the clicking by changing the rear air temp, this could be the problem. This would be the ac pump cycling this is normal most of the time the only time the pump runs continuesly is when the unit is set to max ac try that first if it still cycles in high your R134a pressure my be low, I dont recall the proper pressure how ever I was able to recharge mine my self by buying the R134A and recharge kit at the auto parts store. the clerk should be able to look that info up for you. It is a relitive easy task.

In the 2001 Mountaineer open the tailgate, to the left open the panel where the jack would be located and towards the front of the opening you'll see the computer box on that sticker has a 5 digit number which is the code, you might have to pull the panel out a little bit to see but ITS THERE. YOUR WELCOME. In the 2002 Mercury Mountaineer, especially with the 3rd row seat, remove the trim panels at the rear of the back door and at the tailgate on the passenger side. Then pull the lower trim panel forward CAREFULLY. Towards the front you will see a small black box (says Security Unit) On it in fairly small print will be the 5 digit code. == == if you goto the dealer, they should be able to run the vin number and get it for you. Also try calling the dealer and asking them, or catch one of the mechanisc on the side and ask them. I hope that this helps Your first action would be to look for the card with the number on it located in the drivers manual which hopefully would still be in the vehicles glove box. Open the interior rear left panel. Where the jack is stowed. The computer should be visible when that panel is removed. Tere is a sticker with the code on it. It should be a 5 digit code. Good luck. I own a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer and there is no code, nor computer located in the suggested location. There is no interior left rear panel. The location of the jack is in a rear floor panel that extends the enitre width of the rear. I, too, am looking for the code location. I purchased the vehice used, and do not have the "card" from the manual. I have been unable to find it at this point. Same here, I have 04 mountaineer. Didn't see a "computer module" either. Any help would be great. Look in your glove compartment, there should be a card in your owners manual. You can also try checking in the back by the read look all the way in the back for a code, or call the dealer and see if they will run your vin number and give it to you. Hope this helps. For general information, if you press the bottom two buttons at the same time it will lock your doors. I own a 2002 mercury Mountaineer and I found the module and my code where it was describe on this page. What you do, is open the back passenger side door. (NOT the door behind the driver). You will see two panels where the wall seat belt is located, remove the top panel first and then pull the lower panel out. Near the door opening you will see a small black box that (says Security Unit). there will be a lot of different numbers on it, however, there is only ONE set or FIVE numbers and that is your CODE number.

I have the same problem. I checked the codes in the computer and mine was a bad seat belt pretensioner on the drivers side. It flashes a different number of times for the passenger side. The pre tensioner is a device in the seat belt locking mechanism that is suppose to take out slack just before totally locking up in the event of a crash.

how do you replace rear wiper motor on a 1997 ford explorer

Where is the location of the EGR valve on a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer V*

while driving during the rash of rain that we had in eastern pa. iwas getting soaked,i though that my sunroof tubes were clogged up,so i openned my sunroof completely and took a peek at the tubes with a flashlight and used a small can of compressed air used for computers to make sure it was clear then pour a little water into the tube with no luck, so i took the top door trim off,all you have to do is pry off with your bare hands,but make sure you pry straight out,maybe you can use your fingers at the top and a screw driver at the bottom the first clip you shoud snap out is the one near the junction between the front door moulding and the rear door but don't forget to always pull straight out then all you have to do is go around the moulding as long as you have a straight pull you won't brake the snaps or clips, after you take that mouldinf off take off four screws holding your sun visor three on the left side and one in the right side for the drivers side and the oppossite for the passenger side once you do that get a flaslight and as you pry the front corner of your sunroof down take a peek and you will see that that the rubber connector to the tube has separated from either the tube or the hose,in that case all i did was stick my hand in there and pull the connector off ,clean it out and put a little silicone to make sure it does not come off anymore til, i want to get to it again, just pry the headliner down gently,and you will have just enough room to work on it,remember all you want to do is to make sure you don't have any leaks and do not play around too mu7ch because the tube might disappear from view and into the body frame and you will have a hard time to fish it out,like i just did. good luck with your project.

Look under the the plastic cover on the drive side by the breaks and gas pedals

If you have a 5R55W 5 speed automatic, there is no dipstick. It is a "sealed" transmission and shouldn't leak...unless you have a leaking diaphram, in which case you would blow smoke out your tail pipe, bla bla bla. Ford says you should take it in...or look in your owners manual. You should have a 5R55E though and that would most likely be toward the back just to the right or left of the engine.

You lift the vehicle and lower the fuel tank. The fuel sending unit is removed from the top, and the pump can be wiggled out of the unit.
