Its a know issue for 1996-1998 Mercury Villager and Nissan Quest
I have found that there are four possible causes for the problem:

1. Lack of debouncing of the switch on the manual door lock
2. Corroded power feed near the battery
3. Flaky power smart entry controller
4. A Pinched wire

Check or replace parts if needed. if you have any questions feel free to ask me.thanks

if they are self locking, there is a TSB at our site. However, it is likely one of the door lock actuators ($125) malfunctioning. usually the driver door. but try the TSB stuff first.

tascaforpparts.com will sell part at discount.

If you follow top radiator hose back to the engine it's attached to a small housing. Beneath that housing is your thermostat. You'll need a new thermostat, gasket and coolant. Make sure you get a 192 or 195 degree thermostat. Any good parts store will be able to handle your needs

tey spraying sarting fluid in the throttle body and see if it starts. If yes, the fuel pump is likely bad. Can you hear the pump run for 5 seconds in the tank when you turn the key to ON.

it is a small O ring and can be replaced separately. It is a readily availbale o ring and takes about an hour to replace. Someone on our site did it recently. Hot engine coolant goes through the throttl body fo a couple of reasons.
