Mercury Mountaineer

Should be on the computer module in the left rear above the wheel well inside.

The engine stops immediately and if you are driving you also loose your power steering and power brakes making it difficult to steer off the road and stopping requires very hard pushing on the brake pedal. But you just grip and brake safely off the road if possible. If you try to start the engine with your key, it will just have a fast whirring noise as the starter freewheels because it is no longer connected to the belt and thus to the engine. Depending on the make, you will have to replace just the belt (and they will recommend to replace the water pump as well because it is in close proximity to the TB repair work and you save some in duplicated labor. Your call on this). This is $300-1000. If you are unlucky and have damaged pistons, valves, cylinder head or pushrods as well, your expense will obviously be substantially more. Good luck. If it is not yet broken, have it replaced pretty close to the mfg recommendations. You are playing with fate if you elect not to do it until it breaks. Inconvenience, bad location, on the road, potential greater expense. You have to make the call. If you don't have the bread, drive easy and pray until you can have it done. Will it break at 97K or last to 190k? You might google that question and play the odds.

Not from the factory , only if someone has added a drain plug in the transmission pan

To disconnect all beeping alarms on a 2004 Mercury Mountaineer, you can start by checking the vehicle's owner manual for specific alarm details. Often, you can silence the alarms by turning off the ignition and disconnecting the battery for a few minutes, which resets the system.

Always ensure the vehicle is turned off before checking or replacing any fuses.

Yes, you can install a 1999 4.6L Crown Victoria motor in a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer, but there are several changes needed. You will need to swap the engine wiring harness and possibly the engine control module (ECM) to ensure compatibility with the Mountaineer’s systems.

It's essential to check for any other specific compatibility issues related to the drivetrain and sensors.

For a 2000 Mercury Mountaineer, the cooling system capacity is approximately 16 quarts (or 4 gallons) when including the radiator and engine block. When adding antifreeze, it's generally recommended to use a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. Therefore, you would need about 2 gallons of antifreeze and 2 gallons of water to achieve the proper mixture. Always check your owner's manual for specific recommendations.

To replace the rear passenger window on a 2004 Mercury Mountaineer, start by removing the interior door panel by unscrewing any visible screws and gently prying off plastic clips. Once the panel is off, disconnect the wiring harnesses and remove any insulation material. Carefully detach the broken window from the window regulator and lift it out. Install the new window by reversing the process, ensuring it is secured and properly aligned before reassembling the door panel.

To remove the rotor on a 2004 Mercury Mountaineer, first ensure the vehicle is securely elevated and supported. Remove the wheel and brake caliper, then slide the caliper bracket off the rotor.

Finally, pull the rotor straight off the hub for replacement or servicing.

To replace the headlamp bulbs in a 2005 Mercury Mountaineer, first, ensure the vehicle is turned off and the keys are removed. Open the hood and locate the headlamp assembly; you may need to remove the plastic cover or other components for access.

Insert the new bulb without touching the glass, reconnect the electrical connector, and test the lights before reassembling any covers.

To replace the sway bar bushings on a 2004 Mercury Mountaineer, first, safely lift and secure the vehicle on jack stands. Remove the sway bar end links using a wrench and socket, then unbolt the sway bar from its mounting brackets on the frame.

Finally, lower the vehicle and check for any noise or movement to ensure proper installation.

To remove the front drive shaft on a Mercury Mountaineer, first, ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported. Disconnect the drive shaft at both ends by removing the bolts that attach it to the front differential and the transfer case using the appropriate socket.

Always consult the vehicle's service manual for precise location and access instructions.
