20 Most Recent 1994 Mercury Tracer Questions & Answers

Did you check the AC relay?

You have a leaking cylinder head gasket.

Check where the top radiator ho

Joint box, are you sure?

I suggest check the position 17, 20AMP for Cigar Lighter (page 277 and next for FUSES)...



This and other details can find it in your Mercury Tracer Owners Manual.

Hope this help (remember rated this post).

Bad battery connections or bad solenoid.

check inline fuses

Do you get a clicking noise or a buzzing noise. If its a clicking noise then it a power problem (battery, cables) If it a buzzing noise -- need new solenoid (between battery and starter).

Make sure you have everything connected back up. Check battery cable connections for a clean tight connection. Check the small black with red stripe wire on the starter for power with the key held in start position. If it has power, have the starter tested. If no power on the wire in start, suspect the clutch start switch on the clutch pedal if a manual transmission, or the neutral/park switch near the gear shifter if an automatic.

Sudden no starts are usually gas or spark (ignition) related. If you spray some starting fluid into the intake and it fires up briefly, then you know it is a fuel problem- a bad fuel pump, or less often a fault in the fuel injection circuit. If the engine doesn't respond to the starting fluid, check for spark on a spark plug wire with the engine cranking. Purchase a cheap spark tester at a parts store. It's easy to check for spark this way, and no chance of getting a shock. Another way is to pull off a wire from a plug, take out the spark plug and reattach to the plug wire. Lay the spark plug on a metal piece of engine, where the plug threads are touching metal. That grounds the plug. Now have your helper be cranking the engine over while you watch for a strong blue spark at the spark plug tip. If you have a blue spark consistently, you can assume the ignition is working properly. Post back with what you find or for more help.

Sounds like you may have a bad starter relay, possibly shorted out..what you want to do is locate the relay, under hood on one of the inner fenders, follow the positive battery cable to find it.you should only have power from battery cable connection.pull the small red and black wire off, and test for power on that wire with key on, test while wire is fisconnected.you should only have power there when you try to start the engine. Get back to me after you check this

Takes 3 things to get a car to start. Fuel, Compression, Ignition. Sometimes just because you were low on fuel you believed you were out. The problem may have been elsewhere. Check spark to insure you have the ignition part down too. If you have fuel to the rail then the problem lies with another component. Timing, sensors, rotor if equipped, plug wires, or there is compression which is least likely. Good luck and check for engine codes. :)

Have ECM checked for any stored codes, may give you an idea of what might be at fault.

Are you getting heat?If so then the temp. sensor is faulty.It's a cheap fix for what you have already done

Could be the switch, blower resistor, blower motor, or a bad connection in the wiring. Do you have power and ground at the blower motor when it is not working ?

If the temp. gauge on the instrument panel is OK, test and eventually replace the temperature sender, and check the wiring to temperature sender.

Replacing the whole heater core is not a simple operation, test sender and wiring first.

whats "locked" is most likely the torque converter which the flywheel is attached to. torque converter should be replaced
