20 Most Recent 1989 Mercury Sable Questions & Answers

If you can provide proof of ownership (title in your name) a dealer can cut a key.

You can go to a Ford dealer and tell them you need a relay for your model. Make sure to give them the year, model and even VIN number. they should be willing to show you diagram of the relay and a part number. Your owner's manual will not have the part number but should have the location of the cooling fan relay.

clean area and follow leak could be hose waterpump radiator need to see area were coolant is leaking

First jumpering the fan motor to the battery is a bad idea. The fan will always run even if the vehicle is not running. The fan probably draws enough current to drain your battery overnight. To find the wiring diagram you may need to buy a chilton or haynes manual. If you know somebody who works for a ford or mercury dealer they may be able to get you a schematic.

Might be a bad alternator, or a bad belt, or a bad battery. An auto parts store should be able to test it for you for free.

It could be a bad master control switch (drivers control) or it could be 3 bad window motors or it could be a broken wire from the master switch to the other switches. Electrical diagnosis must be performed to determine which it is.

All cars since the 1950's use a Negative ground, this includes Mecury. Negative is the black cable and the battery is marked NEG (-)

If your car has a code or the Check engine light is on, take it to a local Auto parts store. They will read the code for you for free. They do this in hopes of selling you the parts needed to repair the car. Now they can not, by law clear the codes for you unless they repair the problem. Hope this helps.

I think the dash has to be taken out. to be sure go to any auto parts store and buy a haynes manual for your specific car. they are based on a complete teardown of vehicle. this manual will show how to replace heater core. for about 25.00,

if line out is not geting hot then the core must be clogged

That is an all day job. You have to drain the coolant and freon drop the steering column and completely remove the whole dash to take out the black box and disassemble it to remove the heater core. It's a bad design in my opinion.

Are you wanting to replace the bulb in the dash? The actual flasher under the dash, or the switch in the steering column? I want to help you out with this. But will you please clarify what you are wanting to replace. Thanks!

spacetrucker,

I have spotted the following article which may be helpful as it confirms bolt patterns may match. As far as the mounting to the chassis, that is a different matter. I will have to look into this.

if you can take off the alternator and bring it to a pepboys or autozone they will bench test it for free and tell you if its good and charging or not make sure to disconnect the battery first and if the battery is 4 years old or more change it now thats all they last hope this helps

Sounds like you might have a stuck open EGR valve. Is the check engine light on. I would replace the fuel filter if it hasn't been replaced, also check the air filter.

sounds like the heater core
