#11 of 20 My 1999 Mountaineer cranks but will not start! by Britboy58 Jan 18, 2009 (8:12 am)
The car cranks well despite the current cold snap but will not start. I noticed that even with the key in the ignition that the "Theft" light is still flashing just like when you lock the car up. The owners manual says that this indicates it is not recognizing my key and if flashing will not allow the car to start. This used to be intermittent (approx once every 50 starts and was temporary. Now it is permanent!   Next step for me is to try and find the spare key to see if that one works.   Anyone else have the same issue?   If so, did it mean getting the key re-programmed at the dealer or was there some other fix?   Any suggestions welcome
#12 of 20 2002 Mountaineer - Front Power outlet not working by emcmanus1 Mar 29, 2009 (12:33 pm)
I have a 2002 Mountaineer and the front Power Outlet has stopped working. there is also one for the rear seat that works fine and another hidden one under the rubber mat in the center consile that works as well. I've pulled and checked fuse number 24 and it looks perfect. Is there a fuseable link under the console? something else I need to check? I've attempted to remove the console buy haven't found all the screws yet.   Any help would be appreciated.
#13 of 20 Tach issiue by le roy Mar 29, 2009 (12:57 pm)
I have a 2000 with a tach that works intermittently. The shop they would have to send it in and it would cost a lot. Any ideas?
#14 of 20 1997 Mercury Mountaineer by tandtb Apr 01, 2009 (10:56 am)
Newbe here. I just purchased a 1997 Merc Mountaineer, and have a few questions and problems. First of all I would like to know what other years or makes interchange parts with this vehicle. Is there a company that sells " body parts " ( not human ) for this year vehicle? When you start the car the brake lights come on and stay on everytime. I took it to my mechanice and he replaced the sensor and it still stays on...naturally he took it out and did not charge me. He said the answer was to disconnect the lights....WOW I could have figured that one out.....but I would like to have them work the way they were meant to work....anyone know how to handle this???? Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me you can email me at:   tandtbermancomcast.net Replies to this message: tidester (Apr 01, 2009 2:30 pm) walterd (Aug 04, 2009 10:09 am)

Replying to: tandtb (Apr 01, 2009 10:56 am) Is it your brake light indicator on the dash? If so, make sure your brake fluid Level is correct and the fluid is clear.   How does your braking feel? Is it spongy? Does it take a lot of effort to brake?

Replying to: blackenknight (Jan 01, 2009 12:23 pm) I have an 06 with the same issue. I can't figure out why it's doing it. Did anyone ever find out why it does this?
#18 of 20 Re: Instrument cluster [dmears] by mbolyard Oct 06, 2009 (5:44 am)
Replying to: dmears (Mar 04, 2008 7:21 pm) I am being told by the Ford dealership that my instrument cluster is bad on my 2004 Mountaineer. They will not guarantee this is the problem. What were your problems? I have lost power to several accessories including: radio, CD player, interior lights, glove box light, all gauges, power windows and sunroof. I need your input before I put more money into it. They first told me the smart junction box was bad. After $500 this wasn't the problems. I am running out of patience and money. Thanks.
#20 of 20 2005 mountaineer electrical problems by rdmoore13 Oct 18, 2009 (3:13 pm)
need help, strange things with my mountaineer v8 awd, seem to be electrical, sometimes rear passenger windows will work sometimes not, sometimes cruise works, kill and restart car cruise works, also grinding sound seams to come from transmission and clunking shifts while driving slow, kill and restart car problem gone, fairly sure something electrical is the culprit but local Mercury shop says Huh!!
