The dashboard lights go off from time to time and no one is able to correct this.Michael - 2002 Mercury Sable - Preventive Maintenance - 1/4/2011-
1/4/2011 Nissan Technical AdvisorDid you sought advise of a professional already, did he checked the fuse, could be loose or defective? Try to replace the fuse for dahsboard lights and see if this can resolve the issue. Other than that there's a resistance or grounded wire in the wiring harness and can be detected by performing a continuity test.

You can reach it by pulling the dash trim away from the cluster. put your hand in over the cluster and feel for the plug in the back. wiggle it to make a better contact. worst case pull the cluster and clean the contacts.been there Mark

When my truck sits idle at a red light it starts to shake like it wants to shut off.Vic - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer - Preventive Maintenance - 12/27/2010I have 70,000 miles. I added gas a week ago. I just noticed the problem today after work coming home when i got off the freeway and stopped at a red light. No engine light came on. About 2 weeks ago I had my oil changed and my tires rotated. Today was the first day ...-
12/27/2010 HouseCallAutoThe engine service light will come on very soon, maybe by tomorrow and then you will attach a code reader and see what codes have set. Until the light comes on or fault codes set you cannot know what to do. The light WILL come on. Either there is a misfire or a bad vacuum leak most likely. -
12/27/2010 yboy82When you rotate your tires did you also done a wheel alignment?
And if your tires and wheels are aligned, and have the same tire pressure try to check (and clean if needed) the condition of your air filter and fresh air intake hose, throttle body and MAF sensor (and its electrical connector).

Sometimes my headlights don't come on when I turn on switch, just parking lightsmark bellinger - 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis - Preventive Maintenance - 12/10/2010This usually happens after I have been driving the car for awhile. I shut it off to go into a store and when I come out and start car and turn on lights they don't work. A few times they would come on if I put on my turn signal.-
12/10/2010 Nissan Technical AdvisorCheck the fuses if loose and fit them properly. Check the alternator output; perhaps this happens when there is a lot of accessory loads open and the alternator output is low that why the lights went dim or out. Check also the alternator belt if worn or cracked.

Water is leaking from my truck after the water pump has been replaced. It doesn't run hot unless I turn the heater on.Gail - 1999 Mercury Mountaineer - Preventive Maintenance - 12/8/2010the guy that fixed it said that it needs the waterpump housing to stop it from pouring out the antifreeze. But I've never heard of a waterpump housing. -
Why does my heater/AC only work when turned on at the highest level?danamelia - 2000 Mercury Villager - Preventive Maintenance - 12/6/2010Whenever we use the AC or Heater we have to turn the fan up to the highest level of 4 before it blows air out. I am curious if there might be an easy fix for me to do or if it is best for me take it in. The van has about 100,000 miles on it and I don't know ...-

12/6/2010 clicketysplitI have a 1996 Villager and it is made to be that way. The climate control in the vehicle is computer controlled and the A/C or heat blower fan only comes on high when manually placed into the upward highest position. The vehicle has it's own built in thermostat that takes a few minutes to get an accurate interior temperature of the vehicle before it does anything.
Try this; press the "Automatic" button on the Climate Control Panel and adjust the temperature you desire with the Temperature button just below it and wait a couple minutes until it the vehicle's computer can get an accurate interior temperature reading, -chances are if the current temperature of interior is significantly lower or higher than what you select depending on outside temperature it will automatically adjust the blower fan to an appropriate speed.
If you want to manually adjust the blower fan to blow out heat or A/C faster just use the thumb wheel on the right side of the Climate Control panel up or down. It will only blow out faster if you manually select the faster speed.
There is nothing wrong with it, that's the way it's supposed to work. Give it more of a chance, when the cars computer registers the interior temperature it will automatically adjust the blower fan according to what temperature you select and the interior temperature of the vehicle.
Let us know what happens.

THIS CAR RAN EXCELLENT THEN OWNER DIED AND CAR SAT PARKED FOR FIVE YEARS.IS THIS CAR ABLE TO RUN AGAIN OR IS MOTOR FROZEWILLYGEE46 - 1997 Mercury Tracer - Preventive Maintenance - 11/27/2010-
11/27/2010 HouseCallAutoProbably fine. Remove the spark plugs and inject an ounce of oil into each of the cylinders and then distribute the oil with compressed air into each cylinder for a few seconds. then let it sit overnight. Next day try to turn the crankshaft manually. if it moves OK, charge or replace the battery and start it up or at least see if it starts. the gasoline that is in there is likely degraded but I have started at least two cars with no issues where the gasoline was 5 years old and it ran decent. You just never know, you have to just try to start it and see if everything is there.

The air condition is hot sometimeseuge68 - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis - Preventive Maintenance - 11/5/2010start out hot then start cooling or making a turn and it goes hot. have to shut a/c and turn back on-
11/5/2010 vince^_^It is possible that moisture is present in your ac system and it develops into ice when reaching the expansion valve restricting the flow of Freon in your system that’s why you feel hot and when it melts it allows the Freon to circulate and you can now feel that your ac is functioning. Take your vehicle to a certified ac technician to perform evacuation in your ac system and perform a leak test. You can use the Find a Shop feature of AutoMD to find a list of shops near you with their address, telephone # and labor rate per hour.
