Rear tire locked

Used tires sometimes are used for a reason. Also make sure your brakes are releasing completely (especially the emergency brake)...sometimes over-tightening wheels on to the disc brakes can cause excessive noise.

The 3.0 engine should be near the crank pulley in front of the engine.
The 3.8 engine uses a distributor.

Brake Shift interlock system problem probably . This is a safety system that will not let you move the gear selector from park ,unless your foot is pressing on the brake pedal . Electrically controlled locking solenoid , wiring , brake switch used to control this .

could be handbrake cable or corrosion inside the wheel cylinder bores best advice i can offer is to ask a local mechanic recommended by a friend to have a look for you

Hello, Most likely you have broken Emergency brake pads trapped inside the inner rear Rotor or drum. There is also a possibility that a rear wheel bearing has collapsed especially if you have heard a whining noise while driving.

Since the Sable is a Front-wheel drive vehicle, the rear wheels have few parts. This will not cost as much to fix. The rear rotor/drum will need to be removed and the defective parts replaced. The rear rotor/drum will probably be bad along with needing pads or bearings.

The other rear wheel should be checked for damage too. I hope my solution is helpful to you.

Have you tried the child locks on the doors?

MERCURY SABLE , manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT . AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, VEHICLE SWAYS AND VEERS EXCESSIVELY IN MODERATE CROSSWINDS. *AK.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1MEHM55S31A. MERCURY SABLE 2001 problem was reported in ANDOVER, MA. Original Owner. Vehicle was purchased on 20000901. Vehicle was using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.Vehicle was using Cruise Control.MERCURY SABLE 2001 drive type:FWD. FUEL SYSTEM:N/A. FUEL TYPE: GAS. VEHICLE SPEED: 65 mph.

Basically this means that the vehicle's speed as read by the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is not working properly.

Symptoms of a P0500 DTC may include:
* loss of anti-lock brakes
* the "anti-lock" or "brake" warning lamps on the dash may be lit
* the speedometer or odometer may not work properly (or at all)
* your vehicle's RPM limiter may be decreased
* the shifting of an automatic transmission may become erratic
* other symptoms may also be present

Causes: A code P0500 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
* The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is not reading (functioning) properly
* There is a broken/frayed wire leading to the vehicle speed sensor
* The vehicle's PCM is not correctly configured for the actual tire size on the vehicle

Possible Solutions: The simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back.
Next, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the speed sensor. The location of the sensor depends on your vehicle. The sensor could be on the rear axle, transmission, or perhaps the wheel hub (brake) assembly.

If the wiring and connectors are OK, then check the voltage at the speed sensor. Again, the exact procedure wil depend on your make and model of vehicle.

If everything looks OK, replace the sensor.

Hope this helps (remember to rate this answer).

low brake fluid.
Also by your e-brake, there is a switch there you can disconnect.

actually theres a special tool that connects to an air pump hose that expands the caliper back but you can use a vise if your very careful with pressing it back or locking clamp that you can use like a vise but this requires hand presure loosen bleed screw then use the vise
