for the interior compartment, the fuse panel is located under the drivers side instrument panel. Heavier power distribution fuse panel is located under the hood (the engine compartment) on the drivers side. Hope this helps.

first make sure you have the correct belt for the application. then make sure you are installing the belt the correct way, going to and around the correct pulleys. there should be a decal under the hood somewhere that shows the routing of the belt it may still be there and not missing.

Unfortunately you have to have it in the on position for the release pin to push in so you can remove the tumblers.

If you mean A/C compressor, there are safety switches for high and low pressure. You need to evacuate the A/C system with a Vacuum pump and then fill it with Freon. If you already did this, chances are that when the Freon stabilized, it was either too high or too low of a pressure and the safety switches worked.

I would recommend replacing the thermostat before chasing e.c.t.

Changing the Timing Belt in Mercury Mystique

it looks like a crankshaft sensor usually a little square box

Sounds like you roached you timing belt. Of course the engine will not run until you replace the belt.

go to your public library and check out mechanics book for your year, make, and model. That is how I get mine to answer your questions. Its free and all I use is my library card to check it out.

Is rather costly $300 plus parts but you can do it yourself for less than $100 including parts.

If you replaced the compressor unit, normally R-12 or what ever is used, is evacuated and thus they create a vacuum, then recharge the system to the proper level of gas/ pressure. Vehicles have a vacuum controlled shut-off valve to stop or reduce the flow of anti freeze from the engine to the heater core, near the condenser. There is sometimes a pressure control valve or switch to control, when the actual compressor unit clutch engages to start to pump the gas to cool the cabin area of the vehicle. There are also fuses/ circuit breakers near the left front fender well under the hood, and left driver's side under left side of dash. I am presuming that the clutch assembly on the compressor functions properly engaging/ disengaging, when system is properly "charged."

You must have recharged the unit? Or replaced the compressor unit? Some have an "overload" relay, it may have caused one of the fuses to blow.

Timing should be set thru computer, to the coil pack/ plug wires, plugs from engine (crank) position sensors, electronically? Or in a similar fashion. Taking into account air temperature and coolant temperature sensors and etc.

Probably $25 to $100 if you do it yourself? $200 to $300 at Ford Dealership (If your lucky!!) if the complete assembly needs changed?

No Fuses protect a circuit They do not cause problems IF-- a fuse blows, replacing it won't do much, as it blows for a reason & you have to diagnose that system to find out why A fuse is just a straight piece of wire designed to melt before the wiring harness gets too hot If you read too many web sites, you will be living in a world of non sense about fuses & relays You won't have more than 5 fuses fail in 60 years of driving & I doubt ever a relay fail, unless you only drive cars 20 to 30 years old For air conditioning you need a professional that knows how to diagnose those systems & has the proper equipment Even the pros that do a/c work, but not vehicles, will have a problem when it comes to cars,their not the same as a roof top or home central a/c unit.

have it checked free at parts store .they will let you know if is bad and need to replace.

Hello I believe you can ask on google and it will show you a diagram . Most times the diagram will also be on the back of the fuse box cover . also if that don't help try your owners manual.

You should feel upper radiator hose to see if its even getting warm at all
If thermostat is stuck open then it will hardly even move
If it feels warm to the touch then its probably a defective coolant temp sender
Most of the time its a one wire connector located near thermostat
If so you can ground that wire to see if gauge moves
If it moves toward hot then just replace the sensor
I need to know which engine and I can give you specific instructions on how to test that circuit and even location of sensor If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/rodger_15a879d9d9556eea
