My key won't turn to start my car... It's a 92 Sable Mercury.

  • don-ohio Dec 16, 2016

    Replace the ignition tumbler and you'll get 2 new keys. t's easy in a 92 Sable.
    Disconnect battery cables first to disable airbags.
    Turn the ignition to the RUN position.Insert 1/8" pin punch or small allen key into the hole at the bottom of the steering column cover(not the screw hole).
    Press up on the 1/8" pin or allen key while pulling out on the lock cylinder.
    To install the new one: Make sure you have the lock cyl. unwrapped from an packaging.
    Press the retaining pin on the side if the new lock cyl. and rotate the ignition key lock cylinder to the RUN position,just like the cylinder's position you took out.
    Now,Install the lock cylinder into the steering column housing,making sure s fully seated and aligned in the interlocking washer.
    Rotate the key back to the OFF position.This will let the retainer pin to pop in place.
    Turn the lock to make sure it works correctly. Place it in LOCK position,remove the key, and hook up your battery. don-ohio (:^)

Depends on the sound that it makes when you turn the key over.

Clicking noise...usually the starter

If it sounds like its going to start, but doesnt, most likely the battery.

If you have replaced the battery recently, then its the alternator.

Sometimes there can be oil build up over the spark plugs so it doesnt get the spark to start.

Hope you get it fixed!!

SOURCE: 5 digit code to unlock my 1997 Mercury Sable

It is located on the keyless entry module located under the drivers side dash. There will be a five digit code on the side of the box facing the passenger side. Enter the code and it should unlock. Follow owners manual to change the code, it will store both codes at the same time and either should work.

SOURCE: 98 MERCURY SABLE. TURNS OVER BUT WON'T START.

I would check to see if you have spark and fuel at the motor. Double check that everything was connected back up.

Have 1995 Mercury Sable Ls. The car will not start. When turning the key I get nothing no clicking noise lights dim. We tried to jump the car off with jumper cables and it still does not start. Checked...

Check all wires running to battery. Check the battery ground(black) cable for sure. Make sure it is getting a good ground. If necessary unbolt the ground and clean up with a wire brush or wheel.

1997 sable cranks won' t start theft light flashing

Some cars can be reset by turning the ignition to on and waiting a while to reset. Could be as much as 10 minutes. The light will stop flashing when it is reset. Others have a different process. If you have the owners manual it may tell how to do this.

This may work also and a lot faster.
insert the key in
the drivers door, turn left, then right
to disarm and reset it.

When I turn the key on my 92' sable ls, it will click but it wont turn over.? then randomly it will start again and act like nothing ever happened. is this the starter or alternater>?

If your battery is more than four years old, replace it. remove the starter and altenator and bring to autozone, where they test for free. If all three items above are ok, then you have a weird issue that involves alot of testing, or possibly an ignition cylinder?
