If it hasnt been ran for 2 years, i would drain the gas. put some 90 octane gas into it with some fuel injector cleaner if it still dont start, check the fuel pressure by disconnecting the quick connector from the fuel rail should have 35-40 lbs of pressure if it is way low or none fuel pump is bad

Removal of starter 1999 mercury mountaineer

Three bolt starter? Top bolt is a bear either way. Easiest to use about 2 to 2-1/2' of 3/8" extension and go straight at it from between the radiator and engine. You'll have to play with extensions to get just the right length, but it's do-able.

Where is the flasher unit for 1999 mercury mountaineer?

It's the same flasher unit for both turn signals AND emergency flashers. Even though one side works, the other won't. If you have a good fuse for the turn signals, then replace the flasher unit.

1999 Mercury Mountaineer wont start

It may be a fuel filter issue, or like the mechanics said, fuel pump. It is a fuel injected model, so that may be the issue also.

99 Mercury Mountaineer will not start on 1st or 2nd attempt.

Ever have the fuel pump replaced ? Classic symptom of long crank time ,the check valve in the fuel pump module is bad . Hooking up a fuel pressure gauge to check for fuel pressure bleed off . Fuel bleeds back into the tank. Try spraying carb. cleaner into the throttle an see if it starts sooner ! I would imagine you don't have a fuel pressure gauge to test it the correct way .
