According to the 1999 Mercury Mystique Owner Guide ( 5W-30 )

With engine oil filter change :

The 2.0 litre four cylinder engine takes ( 4.5 U.S. quarts of 5W-30 )

The fuse box is under the dash drivers side.Locate the fuse location from the manual.Pull down on fuse.Replace with fuse of same amp.No hiden problems to worry about.

Duck tape should do the trick

R134

I would be suspicious of the shift solenoids, this model I believe has 2 of them, along with a tcc solenoid.

There is a low pressure switch located on the suction accumulator/drier which is located under the hood of the engine compartment. Standing in front of the engine compartment look straight down a little to your right up close to the engine radiator and see the drier. There are 2 refrigerant lines and an electrical connection on the drier, this connector is connected to the low pressure switch on the drier. Hope this helps you. Serg.............

YOU DON'T , REPLACE IT ... IMEAN THERE ARE TIMES THAT PEOPLE SAY CLEAN IT, BUT THATS A COMMON MISTAKE, YOU WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT.

The starter on a 98 Ford Contour SE is changed by disconnecting the battery, jacking the vehicle up, and removing the starter shield. The retaining bolts and bracket can then be removed, the wires disconnected, and the starter removed.

It smells like you

The thread on cap on your engine coolant reservoir is the pressure cap /

radiator cap on a 1999 Mercury Mystique

It is under the instrument panel, left of the steering column.

There is a button to push that releases the fuse block and it drops down.

Be very careful, there is a large red wire coming from the power distribution block under the hood. It is in a connector with a green wire. They connect to the back of the fuse block.

This wire feeds the heater blower among other things.

If it is loosened in any way, it will overheat and melt the connector and damage the fuse block.

I know from personal experience. I am looking for a fuse block and connector.

You will need to remove the tire and wheel. Remove the nut from the top of the ball joint. Pound the ball joint out with a hammer. Reverse the process to install the new ball joint.

This proceedure may sound involved, but it is quite easy. Just a matter of finding all the fasteners (screws).

There are three or four small, exposed screws to remove along the bottom & side of the panel. Additionally, there is a plastic cover over the center of the door handle that must be removed. A flat screwdriver works well, just be gentle to avoid any noticable scratches to the trim. Under it you will find another screw to remove. Also remove the small plastic plugs - one on the door arm rest, the other on the panel - and remove them to access two more screws. The small, triangular trim piece at the corner of the front window adjacent the mirror will need to be removed. There is a plastic plug & screw to remove as well. The plug over the triagular trim gave me trouble as it's hard plastic & quite snug. I simply drove a screw into it about 1/4 inch and pulled it out by the screw, then replaced it with a new one when done. The last screw is under the paddle that opens the door. It simply holds the plastic trim in place. Depending on model year, there may or may not be a plastic plug covering it.

Finally, with all the screws removed, pull the window switch up and unplug it, and set it aside. Now gently pull the bottom of the panel away from the door a few inches and lift the panel. Focus most of the lifting at the end away from the mirror as the mirror hardware may still be a bit of an obstruction.

A person should know the location of the fuses and relays of a vehicle. The PMC relay for this car is usually located under the driver side dashboard.?æ

The fuel pump is underneath the back seat, lift this seat up pull a black cap off on pass. side and you should be staring at it.

transmission pretty much looks like any other. hard to answer that question! lol. but while we are talking about mystique transmission, let me share a story that could save somebody thousands of dollars. (Maybe hundreds of dollars, but lots) driving to work one day and all of a sudden i feel a little shudder/ shake in the vehicle, immediately look at the dash board for lights or something and i see my speedo needle drop to zero. car kept going but after a few minutes the overdrive light starts flashing on the dashboard and it wouldn't shift properly. took it to Mr. Transmission (canada) and they tried to tell me my tranny is very much screwed inside and they will need 1800 to 2200 dollars to fix it. i told them absolutely no way im going to spend that much money on a car i only paid a thousand dollars for. he says,, hold on , there might be a way to save you a lot of money. goes in back, comes back out and says "were going to replace your speed sensor and see if that fixes the electronics connection and sort everything out. Sure enough, $250.00 later the car is fixed (and im sure they made money on that as well)Dude was totally ready to take my 2000.00 bucks if i was ready to give it to him. Be careful people. Do major research before you take your care to a repair shop. It is sickening how their main goal is to screw you over now or tinker with something in your car so you will have to come back later.

There is a battery light above the engine temperature gauge

You have to start by checking the bulbs or the flasher I think it may be the flasher.>>>>>>>>>>>>>

That would be your LOW engine coolant light
