2005 Mercury Mountaineer - Page 3 Questions & Answers
I have a 2005 Mercury Mountaineer. Most of the time when I put it into reverse, the engine cuts off or sputters like it's going to cut of. The transmission was replaced 1 year ago.
Only in reverse? May have a shift solinoid issues or something related to it. You will need an experienced tech to do a scan check to see if any of the sensors or solinoids are out of range or slow acting as you may not get the bad code to come out rightaway but it causes durability issues and having the right experienced teck that knows how it works it will save you headaches and $$ in the long run. Also another thing that comes to mind is a possible vacuum leak from your brake booster and tgat is something you can check at home without a scanner. With a long needle vicegrips reach over and squeeze the big vacuum hose going to the booster letterly plugging the pass of vacuum inside. Very carefully start the car, apply the brake pedal and you will notice that they are stiff, then put it in reverse and see if does the same thing. If that fixes it then you have a bad brake booster, if it doesnt help any then your problem is elsewhere. DO NOT LEAVE THE VICEGRIPS ON THAT HOSE it will make the pedal very stiff and it wont want to stop which can lead you to have an accident.
How do I change the blend door actuator on 2005 mountaineer
Get under the dash & remove the 3 screws
holding the Vent Blend Door Motors on
Have about 5 of them
They are on the Motorcraft Web Site, with a diagram &
part numbers
You buy them from Amazon (Motorcraft OE Part)
If you use a scan tool in enhanced mode & look at the
HVAC Module, you will see the code & know which one
has failed
Need to try every manual setting & use your diagram,
to also see which location doesn't switch air flow
Bank one and bank two
Usually when you get lean on both banks it points towards a vacuum leak or weak fuel pump. It is unlikely that both front oxygen sensors went bad at the same time...not impossible...but unlikely. If the manifold gaskets are worn it could produce a small vacuum leak when cold and you don't notice it because the system is in open loop and compensating with fuel. As the manifold heats up and expands the leak disappears and you never notice the issue but the module still sees the unmetered air.
How often do i change the oil on a mercury mountaineer 2005?
It depends on how many miles you drive annually, the environment your vehicle is driven in (dusty, hot, cold, humid, dry, etc), the type of oil you use (conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic), and the condition of your car's engine. You should consult your owner's manual and the data on your engine oil.
I drive a 1999 Mercury Mountaineer 5,0L and drive it about 1,500 miles annually. I use a synthetic blend oil and change my oil and oil filter twice a year. I change the oil in the spring so I have fresh oil for the hot summer driving season and I change my truck's oil in the fall after the hot summer driving season. Because my Mountaineer has a lot of miles on it, I use thinner oil in the winter 5/20 and thicker oil in the summer 10/20. I check my oil regularly and look at the color and feel the oil for grit. This has worked for me for many years and I have had good performance from my vehicles.
You can go on the different oil manufacture's websites and read their recommendations as well. There has been much debate about when to change the oil in a vehicle so you have to decide for yourself what schedule you want to follow.
No power to Windows
There is a switch on the driver's side door's arm-rest with all the window buttons that locks all the windows. Could that be the problem? If that is too simple, replace the fuse.
