Taking a wild guess here but could be a theft system problem.

SOURCE: program remote keyless entry

1) Turn key from OFF to ON eight times within 10 seconds ending in the ON position.

2) After doors lock then unlock, press any button on the
remote being programmed.

3) The doors should lock/unlock to confirm programming.

4) Turn key to OFF and door locks should cycle one last time.

SOURCE: 1996 mazda mx6 ls cranks but won't start

you may need to run a wire from a keyed ignition source that has power while cranking and running to the fuel pump relay and bypass the pcm to test wether it will run, if it runs put a more permanent wire in place.Not too sure what tests youve done but it seems that fuel is what your focusing on so a quick test is too spray engine start up the intake tube to see if the engine trys to run if it does it eliminates a lot of other potential reasons for a no start condition.Also try squeezing the fuel return line to see if the added pressure will try to make engine run.Could be time to replace fuel pump etc anyway let me know how it goes good luck with it

SOURCE: 2001 Merc. Sable headlight replacement

There are two 10 millimeter bolts that must be removed. Place these in your pocket or a convenient place so they will not be mispalced or lost. Also you need to pull upwards and remove an aluminun locking tab(coated in black plastic). After this is done carefully slide assembly foward. Press down on the wiring harness clip to remove it from the headlight bulb assembly, Turn the locking ring on the bulb to the right and remove so you can remove the bulb. Twist bulb out. When replacing new bulb do not touch the glass portion of the bulb. If you do so clean off with alcohol. Oil from your fingers left on the bulb will cause the bulb to overheat and fail prematurely. Replace bulb and secure with locking ring. You may also want to change the yellow parking/signal light bulbs at the same time. Clip wiring harness back on and slide headlightassembly back into place. Slide aluminum locking tab back into place. Now hand thread 10mm bolts back into place, Then tighten, do not over tighten. Now do the other side. First time might take you about 10 minutes per side. After that you could do it in a couple of minutes. Info on performing this maintenence can be foud in the owners guide or by downloading the guide from the following link http://www.motorcraftservice.com/pubs/content/~WO1SAB/~MUS~LEN/40/01sabog3e.pdf

Hope this info helped.

It sounds like you may have a defective ignition starter switch. It is located near the bottom top of the steering column under the dash.

Mercury sable 1996 changed fuel filter had brown gas in it did this ruin fuel pump. Can hear pump when trying to start car

Most likely the fuel pump is ok, but there is likely air in the fuel line that you need to bleed off under the hood.

It is possible that the fuel pump went bad, and the way to know is to check the fuel pressure (same place you bleed it under the hood). The fuel pump is in the tank, so it's a real pain to change.

Hi i have a 1996 mercury sable wagon and it was running fine, I went to start it the other day and it wouldnt start, I checked the fuel pump shut off switch and its pushed down it dont click up or down or...

There is nothing wrong with the Inertia Fuel Shut Off Switch

It is down & closed, as it should be & you haven't been in an accident,forget it

What are you missing?

Fuel,Spark, MAF

Have to start testing, if the starter turns the engine over

How do I change the fuel pump on the 93 sable. the engine will turn over , but it never fires

It may be more simple than changing the fuel pump. I know on my 93 sable ls 3.8V6 there is a emergency fuel shut off switch located in the trunk behind the driver side floor covering. This switch will automatically shut off the fuel pump if there is a large impact (ie. tire blow out, accident, etc.) Check that first.

If the pump is the issue it is located in the fuel tank and you will have to drop the tank to access the pump.

Best of luck

94 Mercury sable does not start. had the battery and starter checked. Fuel pump is engaging, and just changed the fuel filter. Any ideas?

if fuel is being delivered,look for an ignition problem (module,relay,distributor). you need 3 things to fire up an engine 1 compression 2 fuel 3 spark
