    Driver's Side Passenger Power Window Lock Out Switch Question

    Can someone please check their 4th Gen Explorer/Mountaineer and tell me if this switch lights up like the window up/down switches and the door lock/unlock switches? Mine doesn't seem to light up. Frankly, I'm not sure if it ever lit up. It still controls power to the passenger window switches...

    Billet Fuel Door For Capless Fuel System

    Has anyone tried installing one of these? I've read all the links I could find and none describe the one for a capless fuel system. I understand how to remove the four screws, two holding just rubber bumpers and two holding rubber bumpers and the door hinge assembly. But there is still that...

    Suggestions for Chrome Exhaust Tip

    I have a stock 2008 Mercury Mountaineer V-6. I'm looking for a clamp-on chrome exhaust tip for purely cosmestic reasons. I don't want to change the sound or have it protrude much farher than the stock pipe. I'm thinking an angled, rolled-edge tip, so the existing tailpipe doesn't show...

    broken vanity mirror

    Don't get me wrong, I love my 2008 Mountaineer, but come on. I opened the driver's side vanity mirror for maybe the second or third time since I've owned the truck and it broke! One of the hinges just crumbled into pieces. And I didn't and don't flip it up. I gently opened it. And here's...

    Is it just me...

    or do you find it ironic that GMC is advertising their SUVs on this web page? I suppose there are a lot of disgruntled Explorer/Mountaineer owners here, but a "Government Motors" vehicle? Not me! Not now! Chris

    Need help with steering wheel rattle

    My wife has a 2004 Mercury Sable wagon. Recently, the steering wheel started making a small rattle when turning the wheel. It sounds like a screw dropping inside a small enclosed plastic area for a very short period of time. It happens with left or right turns, winding or unwinding the wheel...

    Is there a way to completely shut off the rear vents?

    The ones at the back of the front center console. Not talking about the overhead A/C unit for 3rd row seats. I don't have that. My 1997 Explorer had a fan motor in the console and a power switch in the back. In my 2008, there is only a wheel to switch between the heater and A/C vents...

    Since we're talking about rattles...

    I have a rattle in the driver's side door of my 2008 Mercury Mountaineer with only 2,000 miles on it. It actually started around 1,000 miles. It's very small, but very annoying. It rattles about twice when going over sharp bumps. It goes away if I lower the window one slight touch, about 1/4...

    Will Spoiler for a 2005 fit a 2008?

    I have a 2008 Mountaineer and have been considering two spoiler options. One is the Wings West W-Type made for 2002-2005 Explorers and the other is the Lincoln factory model made for 2003-2005 Aviator Kitty Hawk Editions. Both mount to the top of the tailgate. Besides the hole locations...

    Can a bad brake master cylinder cause a grinding...

    noise from the front end and similar feeling through the brake pedal? I recently had a brake job done at my local Lincoln Mercury dealer on my wife's 2004 Mercury Sable wagon (35K miles). From the day we brought it home, we heard and felt said noise/feeling. Initially, I suspected the pads...

    Where's my coin holder?

    I know this is a somewhat insignificant question. But my new 08 Montaineer doesn't seem to have a coin holder. The marketing specs say I should have one. But the only thing inside the center console is the tissue box holder under the lid and a power point and aux audio input jack on a ledge...
