Most common reason is a faulty blend door under the dash. The blend doors direct air thru the vents and also control temp. You may need a shop manual to diagnose the actual problem and repair it.

Usually, if the shifter is loose, the bushing on either end of the cable is worn out, and the cable must be replaced.

Thermostat is on the top of engine where the hose from the radiator goes into the top of the engine. Follow the hose from the top of the radiator to where it enters the engine and there should be a hose mount with two or three bolts in it. The thermostat is inside the hose mount. Be careful you do not tighten these bolts to tight as these bolts will break. I did and had to drill the bolt out and use an easy out to repair it. It's frustrating when that happens.

Press the accelerator pedal to the floor and keep it there! Now turn over the vehicle, it will try to start and eventually will fire up, when that happens release the accelerator pedal and it should be all good!

Most thermostats are located where the top radiator hose joins the engine, your thermostat may in the bottom radiator hose

Odds are you can't. The ac compressor is mounted in the belt routing so it would need the pulley to keep the belt tight. You can get a used compressor from a salvage yard and mount it in place of your old part if necessary. It will allow the belt to run even if it has no freon in the system. There are a few vehicles that a replacement dummy pulley was designed for, but I am not aware of one for your vehicle. Usually if you try to run the belt without the compressor pulley, it will rub against something or not allow the belt to run in the right direction.

That is normal, they all do this. it won't drain the battery.

Even if the belt did not rub against something by skipping a pulley, it would be almost impossible to know the right size belt to use.

You need the key. If you have lost the lug key, most tire service centers have methods to remove them, but they usually destroy them in the process. On the Mercury Sable, the key was originally clipped to the lug wrench but was also sometimes stored in the glove compartment.

1. If the inspection reveals an obvious concern that is readily serviced, correct the concern before continuing with Inspection and Verification.

1. If a concern remains after the inspection, connect Rotunda New Generation Star (NGS) tester 007-00500 or equivalent to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel to perform the Data Link Diagnostics Test. If the NGS responds with NO RESPONSE/NOT EQUIPPED for the Generic Electronic Module (GEM), GO to Pinpoint Test AD . If the Data Link Diagnostic test is passed for the Generic Electronic Module (GEM), retrieve continuous DTCs and execute self test diagnostics for the GEM.

1. If self test is passed and no DTCs are retrieved, go to the Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics.

1. If DTCs are retrieved, go to the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index to continue diagnostics.

1. If the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) cannot be accessed by the NGS tester, go to Pinpoint Test AD .

Rotunda Service Bay Diagnostic System (SBDS®) 001-00001 may also be used to diagnose this system. You mite check I/P Fuse Panel relay #37 interior lamp relay ! You mite
