Drivers who are shopping around for a used Mercury vehicle may want to check out cars under their certified pre-owned program. Many manufacturers have a certified pre-owned (CPO) program, and each one is...
Hi there. The fit would be close, but might have some overhang and connectivity issues. You might want to measure your existing grill and note the location of installation screws in relation to the vehicle on both parts.
Hello, It sounds like you may have a bad AC compressor relay that may be causing the AC to work intermittently like this. You may want to try checking to see if you have power to the relay to verify...
If the system is low on refrigerant, the compressor has to be operational in order to successfully re-charge the system. First use pressure gauges to see if there is any existing charge. If there is some refrigerant and yet introducing...
Check to see if there are any stored diagnostic trouble codes. Be sure you have a fully charged battery that passes a load test. Confirm that the engine immobilizer system (security system) is not activated thus preventing the car from...
This could be a result of the brake caliper sticking. A few different things can make the brakes stick or lock up. The master cylinder may be causing this if it has not been properly bled. If you loosen the...
Hello, thank you for writing in. Yes, this is an active system with technician's standing by. It is however not a forum style system, in that you will not be able to reply directly to this response. To get more...
High temperatures mean high (or "higher") electrical resistance in the car's electrical system. As resistance in a wire, terminal, or contact increases, current flow is impeded and voltage drops. This may explain why you are experiencing this problem when ambient...
Hi there. Typically the distributor will be attached in the rear, which would need to be removed in order to correctly remove the intake manifold. However, there are a few support bolts that are secured behind the intake as well....
There is a fuse box below and to the left side of the steering column. That fuse box is covered by an access door that is part of the dash. In addition, there is a fuse box in the engine...
Hi there. I wouldn't assume that you have a coolant leak based on coolant being present after the vehicle overheated. In most cases, the coolant will boil out of the radiator cap and cause this type of 'spillage'. If you've...
Hi there. The ECM would need to be tested by a Mercury / Ford dealership; so I would call your local dealer first to see if they can scan the ECM itself or if they need to have it in...
Hi There, Code P0401 relates to the EGR valve flow. When this code is triggered, the computer has detected that the flow is insufficient. Driving the car until next week will not cause any harm, although the vehicle may not...
You may have a clogged heater core that may be prohibiting the outer linings of the heater core to get hot. As you know, the heater core is a series of tubes that the coolant runs through that generates the...
My strut once broke away (at the upper mount) while I was on I-270. I drove home at 5 MPH, replaced it and kept the car another 15 years until the front sub-frame (holding the lower control arm on) fell...
Your engine has an "idle up" function that comes into play when the a/c is turned on. The purpose of that function is to help the engine maintain sufficient power once the load created by the a/c compressor is applied...
If the starter motor is not even cranking the engine, among the first possibilities is excessive voltage drop in the starter circuit due to poor electrical connections, or a dead starter/solenoid. With a battery in good condition and the immobilizer...
P0174 can set if: there is an air leak after the mass air flow (MAF) sensor, such as a torn intake boot, or bad intake manifold gaskets; a dirty or faulty mass air flow sensor; a faulty oxygen sensor, incorrect...
Hi there. If you are going to attempt to complete this repair, I would highly recommend purchasing a service and repair manual for your Mercury Sable. This guide will provide you with the location of the components you are replacing,...
There is a code for engine over temperature that may be stored in your vehicle's powertrain control module. Most auto parts stores will pull the codes for you and let you know what they are. YourMechanic also offers [check engine...
