2005 Mercury Montego Logo
Posted on Jan 08, 2011

I gave a 2005 Mercury Montego. It kicks into failsage engine mode with the engine and failsafe lights on. It knocks really bad so we went and had it hooked up to a diagnostic. It stated the TPS was bad. In the Montego you have to replace the whole Throttle to replace the TPS. They are not separate units from what I understand. We ordered 3 different ones from various wrecker yards and they all ran the same course... They seemed to solve the problem and then after about 100 miles the car kicks back into failsafe and such. We continued to drive it in failsafe and the alternator has since gone out. Any ideas, other than the throttle that this could be? I'm thinking maybe the tranny? Is it possible to rebuild a CVT and if so does anyone have the schematic to do so? I need all the help I can get!

I have the same car and HAD the same problems. Just got it back from the Tranny shop, seems to have fixed the issues. Take it to a very good transmission shop and tell them it is a known issue, some kind of bearings in the tranny, hence the knocking...

My passenger tail light went out on my 2005 mercury Montego, instead of replacing the expensive led assembly, is there any other cars with "same" assembly without the expensive led's? Marquis/crwnvic?

Hello P Schaub,

Looking at the options available to you for parts...
Published by ROCKAUTO...
- it does indeed seem to be YOUR CHOICE...

Either TYPE of BULB seems to fit your vehicle .

Still LOOKING but I see no RESTRICTIONS.

But will the whole tail light assembly from mercury grand marquis fit directly in my 2005 mercury Montego? Would much rather order 2 new marquis tail lights then the 1 Montego tail light since price difference is better.

Sorry.. I miss-understood.

I thought you were trying to save (avoid)the $20 of the LED over The old style... .You are seriously wanting to use Crown Victoria "housings"...?

If I am understanding ... you want to reconfigure your back-up lights & everything?

Sorry I got in the way of this question. I would NOT recommend downgrading to incandescent...
but your are talking custom wiring as well.

I would not recommend either. The dealer cost for each Crown Victoria is over $100 each... and you HAVE NOT EVEN started with the CUSTOM WORK NEEDED for our reverse (back-up) lights.

I absolutely believe the trunk lid is different as well...

If you want a sheet metal guy to tell you the
fenders are the same... The best recommendation would be to RE-POST your question. I'll steer clear. Sorry I miss-understood your objective.

My apologies!

I would suggest your repost.

My 2005 Mercury Montego was not accelerating correctly when I pressed on the gas pedal. Fail Safe Mode indicator came on along with a little wrench light. I stopped the car, turned it off for about 30

You should get Autozone, Advance, or Oreily's to scan your vehicle. It is free. It may show the cause, You probably have an unrelated problem with the cruise. A sensor showing a excessively hot reading can trigger the failsafe mode.

I have a 2005 Mercury Montego. It is making a high pitch whining sound when the engine revs. It is louder when going up hills or when the engine is reving harder.

first thing to check is proper tension on all the belts, if they seem good and not worn,, check for vacuum leaks , a bad hose, or one that has come disconnected will cause this too

05 Mercury Montego Throttle control/sensor

Try a salvage yard for the part. As soon as your new car left the lot it became a used car. Used cars run on used parts.
If the old part is a recall they will upgrade you regardless which part is on your car.
Check the internet and enter your part# in the search box of the Browser. You may get lucky for a new part.

2005 lincoln ls going into etc failsafe mode

I had to replace 4 different coils on my '02 LS before it finally stopped misfiring. After one code and coil replaced it would go to the next one. I had to replace them in this order, 2,3,7,8

When # 7 was misfiring it wouldn't even pull a code all of the time, the check engine light would come on one day then go off the next, really strange.
