You need to go to a repair facility

Have the vehicle scanned for codes

Malfunction. (ABS)

Don't need a Dealer

You need to replace your flasher cam, to find this you need to turn your indicators on then look around under the dashboard for the thing making the tick tick noise, this is your flasher cam.

mine did that right before the alternator died. You can get your battery and alternator tested for free at Autozone locations. Hope that helps

Sounds like you have a low voltage problem.Take a volt meter and battery voltage first it should be 12-12.7 volts not running and key off.Then start engine and check the voltage coming out of the alternator it should be 13-14.7 volts.If one of these are not within these specs then replace which everone that is bad.

Generally not, you will hear a low rumbling vibrational sound when you are driving. Sometimes when you accelerate your wheel will feel like it is moving up and down.
If your ABS and AWD lock lights come on, you need to get your vehicle looked at and diagnosed.

The wiring connections could be full of water and need to be dried out and or sprayed with a water dispersant.
Sounds like you may have sucked water in to your diff housing through the breather hose. This is a common cause of driving through high water. However I'd check the electric connections first.

Find the switch, remove and either put the two wires together or put a jumper in between them

you will need to check the fanbelt is on and tight, if ok, the wires at the back of the alternator.
If all checks ok it will then mean that the alternator will require servicing.

Initially look at the fuses. The windows will have their own fuse and the radio may work on the same fuse as the gauges. The fuses must be in the main fuse box. The position and function of the fuses is normally marked on the inside of the fuse box cover and also in the owner's handbook. If you don't come right with these, work your way through the fuses looking for a blown ones. A small pair of pliers will ease removal of the fuses.

You only replace a blown fuse 1 time

If it blows a second time,you go to a
wiring diagram of that circuit & find out
what items in that circuit could make it blow

You won't loose more than 5 fuses in 50 years
of driving

They seldom fail

You know what circuit has a problem by the
blown fuse,just look its number up in your
owners manual

No Manual --buy one ---Helm.com

You have to have a professional scan tool put on
most vehicles today, to look at the systems data

If I had your truck I would start there

Then I could do nothing without wirng diagrams,
just to see the systems it has & give me a guide
to start some testing

May be the cable got pulled out n all u need to do is to remove the panel and push it back into position or check if the inner part of the button is not stuck or broken. Good luck.

one way to find out is to sit in your vehicle on the drivers side. lock all the doors, stick the key in the ignition and turn it to the on position without starting it then to the off position 9 timesrepeaditly if on the 8th or 9th time the locks unlock then lock or vice versa then the vehicle did come equipt from the dealer with keyless entry remotes. hope ive been helpful

Check Fuse 2.3 (20 Amp). See electrical diagram below.

When it goes, it'll take out the audio and "Cluster and Panel Illumination."
(assuming your vehicle doesn't have an OEM Nav system - in which case fuse 2.3 would
supply power to the Nav system).

Fuse 2.3 is located in the CJB (Central Junction Box) - not the BJB (Battery Junction Box),
nor the AJB (Auxiliary Junction Box).

Also, check fuses F1.6 (60 Amp), and fuse F1.62 (30 Amp) in BJB (Battery Junction Box).
Also, check fuse F2.17 (15 Amp) and the "Accessory Delay Relay," both in the CJB (Central
Junction Box).





Here's the electrical diagram for 2005 Mercury Mountaineer Power Windows:
Note how fuses F1.6, F1.62, F2.17, and 'Accessory Delay Relay" will all
disable the power windows.

So the steering rack somehow has the steering
column out of position. That shouldn't happen
That has to be resolved

The Dash Lights are ABS Brake System Related
Another problem put in your truck

All I can say, I'am thankful I have always done
my own work. Now you know why

I would chaulk that up to whatever

You should go back, but why would you,
only to get upset

Shell out more money at a different
shop to get it repaired correctly.

You do know that you had to have it
aligned after the rack went in
No alignment rack,run.

Sorry,your not alone

You were quoted list price at the dealer
Should be 20% less

Try an auto parts store

Yours will be returned for a core,
so take it with you

They will send it to a rebuilder to be
repaired for someone else.

How do you know you need one?????
Did someone scan it professionally
to determine it was not working
As you said it is expensive.
