Mercury Mountaineer

you have a vacume leak probbly going to the heater control There is a check valve that prevents the loss of vacuum to the heater controls. This check valve goes bad. Then, as you accelerate, the vac. in your engine drops and along with it, the vac to the heater controls drops (is less). To fix this, locate the check valve and replace it. Follow the vacuum line from your firewall (where it goes through the fire wall) back to the check valve. This check valve may be located between the engine and a vacuum reserve tank. The heater controls may be using the vacuum from the reserve tank. In any case, find the little check valve in the vacuum lines and replace it. You will see a remarkable change in the heater controls. I hope I explained this well enough. See you Later, Check your intake gasket if it is leaking at all it will cause it.

Looking at the front suspension, look for axle stubs with rubber boots extending from the front differential to the front hub assembly (just inside the front tires) The presence of both the axle stubs and the front differential signify AWD/4WD

Motorcraft MERCON V - automatic transmission fluid - according to the owners manual

No , a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer is not designed to have a third row seat

( the 2002 and newer Mercury Mountaineer were designed to have a third

row seat )

I was looking at the 1998 Mercury Mountaineer Owner Guide and it

doesn't give the answer , but it should be (79.5 litres / 21 U.S. gallons or close

to that , like it is on my 1995 Ford Explorer XLT )

the rear passenger door (back right), open the door.. where the seatbelt is stored at, lift that panel & the keyless code is a 5 digit code on a white sticker on the metal frame under that panel.

A pressure sensor allows the AC to turn on if there is enough refrigerant. If the pressure is too low it will never turn on. Of course, there are other possibilities, but that's a good place to start.

It's in the trunk, next to the air ride shut off switch, has the factory code right on it. Actually, the code in located on the Computer Module.

You don't mention what model year of Mercury Mountaineer

so I was looking at various model years

The Owner Guides show that the Motorcraft BXT-65-650 battery was used

most

( that's BCI group size 65 , 650 cold cranking amps )

* some model years have an 850 cold cranking amp battery shown as the

optional battery

If the ((ABS)) Light is on then it's a good thing indicating that the Antilock brakes sensor is in good condition. I too have a 2002 mountaineer

there isn't one, the transmission is sealed for life and not DIY servicable

It means that the ABS control module has detected a problem in the ABS system. That will be impossible to determine without talking to the module with a scan tool to find out why it turned the light on. The other thing that it means is that you do not have ABS, but you now have conventional brakes. The ABS part of the brakes will not work until the problem is found out and fixed.

Recently I had an experience with my mt-neer not starting, after replaceing fuel pump and computer, I found out that the KEY is a special key that has to be programmed and has a chip in it. If anything happens to disable this key the engine will not run. This may not be the problem but might be worth checking out. By the way the keys cost about 80 to 100 dollars. My answer::: I have a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer. Before you spend a bunch of money check the BATTERY CABLES. The cables get a severe deposit of acid which will dissolve the copper wiring below the battery cable, especially the positive one. This should be a first thing to look at by a dealership, but I have found they pass over this problem time and again, only to sell you a complete tuneup, diagnostic, etc. etc. and then on the 3rd trip they will change out the battery cables, after you have gone through 1000 dollars for some new cables that you could have installed for 35 or 40 dollars. The cables are large as they need all that copper wiring to pull the load of the starter motor to turn over your engine. The few remaining filaments of copper in your wiring will indeed be enough to light up your interior lights but by no way is the cable in good enough shape to pull the load of the starter motor. (CHECK YOUR BATTERY CABLES) This problem sells a lot of battery replacements also. Check the cables thoroughly before buying a new battery also. (a new battery will sometimes cure the problem for a short time as it will have enough power to start the car though all the corroded wires on a bad cable for a short time, then you will be back to where you started, you will still need new battery cables.

Are you sure there isn't a clip on the end that hooks over the top of the dipstick tube?

To disable the factory alarm on a 2000 Mercury Villager, put the key in the ignition and turn it halfway. Let it stay in the spot for 10 minutes and start the car.

Turn your low beam headlights on and pull the headlight control out

towards you

No , ABS is the anti-lock brake system

Yes, there are sensors that need to be reset in order to complete the starting circuit.

i reconnected my battery of mountaineer 2005 and radio is asking for code, i wasnt able to find it any where...how to solve this issue

Try replacing the motor. You can usually find one at a salvage yard for 5 dollars. Remover the inside back panel on the lift gate and there are 3 screws that hold the bracket to the frame. Disconect the plug and remove and install new motor. If you can find a salvage yard that lets you remove the part yourself you can get a better picture as to how the motor is installed.

Tip, dont cut the wires but unplug the connector. It would suck to have to soder and tape all those wires.
