mountaineer

So my 06 Mountaineer has had a strange overheating problem for a while and i can’t tell if it’s a true sensor reading or not. This car is my every day daily driver and for the entire summer season, the car started and ran every day, taking 2 hour trips twice weekly without fail. come the cold...

Hi everyone! I have a 2008 Mercury Mountaineer Premier AWD that has been ran hard by previous owners. It has leaks from the trans cooler lines, and the fittings on the radiator. I had planned on replacing the fittings, but after I removed the trans lines, and drained the trans fluid from the...

I have a 2006 mercury mountaineer, 4.0. I am in the process of replacing the heater control valve and noticed the coolant line that runs behind the alternator and to the thermostat is very rusty/ needs replacing. I can't find the same part in a parts diagram or on rockauto etc. Has anyone...

Hi Yall, it's been a long hot day, sorry if I ramble. Today is day 8 of ownership and I've got a lot of the bugs worked out. BUT, it's been a rollercoaster so far. I put some pictures on here, but not sure how they'll show up for your reading mode so they are all attached, not inserted. I...

The horn hadn't been working for a few weeks and knew it wasn't the clockspring or the fuse. Finally did it and was able to reuse the bracket for the new horns. The stock horn is a dual horn and one of the horns looked pretty close to the way it probably did in 2007 but the other was just a...

Hello! As the title suggests, I have a 2001 Mercury Mountaineer with a 5.0 V8, and it's making a noise that kind of sounds like chugging/knocking. It's definitely coming from the very front of the vehicle, but I'm not sure what it is. I can also smell antifreeze when I start the vehicle, and I...

I love the way my mountaineer (AWD) drives, handles curves and accelerates.... However, I am starting a car build and was looking at engines and transmissions, fwd, rwd, awd, atc. It finally occurred to me that I'm expecting my car to perform as well as my mountaineer. (Lightbulb moment)...

Hi everyone. The time has come to sell the Mountaineer. Those of you who have been on here for some time may know my truck. For those that don’t, most of what I’ve done is in my signature. I bought this truck in 1999 and have been the only owner. The 4.0 SOHC motor has 254,000 on it and I have...

Hey everyone, Just bought a '99 Mountaineer tonight. Lotta things I like about it, but plenty to fix and learn about. GSmith

Looking for a set of 15" rims for my Mercury Mountaineer to get away from what I already have. I'm very open to Custom and/or other Explorer, Mustang and Ranger rims. Something to change it up. Similar or greater offset preferred. I have 31" tires on it now. PM me what you have. Thanks I...

Hi everyone! I drive a 1998 Mercury Mountaineer that was given to me by my grandpa before he passed away. It runs very well and I have kept it that way. I got it around 5 years ago when it had 94k miles on it and I just recently passed 100k during a road trip to some hot springs (I mostly take...

I've been lurking for the past year and have used a lot of information from this forum to keep my Explorer going. Last weekend LKQ was running a 40% off labor day sale so I went and looked around. I found a 2003 Mountaineer with the message center cluster and thought that would be a cool...

My 97 Mountaineer AWD has pretty much every option except the tow package (go figure). I have a ball installed on the bumper, but obviously there is no hitch assembly and unless it's well hidden, there is no lighting hookups. How should I go about wiring up a wiring harness? At the very least I...

99 Mountaineer - The driver's power seat does slide fore and aft some, but does not slide all the way forward. I don't see anything physically blocking it. Is that a common problem / easy fix? I've got the seat out of the vehicle at the moment. Thanks! -Jeff

99 Mountaineer power windows don't work because one of the wires is broken in the pillar to door wire bundle. I'll probably just fix the broken wire, but seems like if one wire is shot, there are probably more on their way out, so I'm thinking about replacing that whole door harness. Dealer...

Hey yall... so I have a 2008 Mercury Mountaineer with 180k miles on it. She runs GREAT! But this "Check fuel inlet" message that keeps showing up on my dash board every time it rains, is driving me insane. Does anyone know how to make it stop? Ive tried cleaning it out and all but it still does...

I am having to replace the engine on a 2008 Mercury Mountaineer 4.6 and am looking for any advice, recommendations, tricks and instructions. We've already grabbed a used engine from a local salvage yard. I should be able to get the instructions off of All Data but was wondering if anyone had any...

Ok so I have a 2008 Mercury mountaineer base model 4.0 v6 sohc. I would like to put some steel rims with a 0 offset on her to widen her wheelbase. I live in the country and with the roads the way that they are I know it will be beneficial. I added a set to my 98 explorer and it helped stabilize...

Hello all. I couldn't think of a better place to ask this question so I created an account. I have a friend who wants to sell me a 2004 Mountaineer for $200. It has 193k miles on it and 2 known problems. #1 The real seals and bearings need replaced he recommended both sides. #2 New passenger...

I have a 2008 Mercury Mountaineer. It has 80,000 miles on it and has been well maintained and is overall in great shape. For a while now, there has been a random noise happening. It only happens when I have backed out of my driveway or a parking spot. Normally when it occurs, I had turned my...

My cruise control isn't working, no surprise there it seems. Has never worked in my ownership. Replaced the cutoff switch and still nothing. I found a post on Ford Forums Online http://www.fordforumsonline.com/threads/self-test-cruise-control-check-engine.1486/ with the cruise control self...
