95 mercury tracer trio/ ford escort wagon

Radiator fan motor not coming on. Its a brand new motor and works. I changed the broken thermostat too. All new fuses and relay in fuse box under hood. Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking fuse links but don't know where they are?

    Actually I found the problem with the fan not coming on. There are two more seriously hidden relays. Unbolt the air filter housing (12mm socket, 3 bolts). Move that out of the way and near the fender there is a rectangular shaped object with one 10mm bolt holding it on. Its there hiding. Unbolt it, its a rubber boot on it covering the last two relays. Mine were melted. Advanced was gonna special order one that they could have gotten for $70 but not the other. Forget that. I went to the ford dealership and ordered the right ones, both for less than $70. The problem is one of the wiring harnesses melted, but I'll get around that. Also you can used non OEM relays if you feel up to it. This link will tell you how to do it: http://www.feoa.net/modules.php?name=For...

Low idle 95 mercury tracer

The fuel filter on a 1995 Mercury Tracer Trio is on the firewall closest to the bottom of the driver's side. If you're looking at the engine from the front of the car you'll see the battery. $6.85 is the average price for a fuel filter.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finding the thermostat on a 95 mercury tracer

Find the lower radiator hose - the big one attached to the bottom of the radiator. Follow that back to the engine. It'll attach to a housing of sorts, and the thermostat is inside that housing.

Engine is overheating

the easiest thing to try would be the thermostat.
Are your fans coming on?

Heater/Air Conditioning Fan

Are you talking about the blower motor or the radiator fan? The blower motor is under the glove box in the circular black plastic cover. This is very easy to replace, a new one cost about $50 and just plugs right in. There is a 30 amp heater fuse in front over the driver seat under the dash. It's above all the other fuses, its black and rectangular. If that's not it it may be the blower motor

But if its your radiator fan its another ball game. First try the fuses and the relay in the fuse box under the hood, driverside. If thats not it, it could be the fan motor. f the fan motor is burnt out thats easy. Thats $130 for a new motor at the auto store and there are only 3 bolts that hold the radiator fan assembly in. Pull that out, change the motor out (3 more bolts) and put it back in, plug it in and your done.

If the problem is in the radiator fan and not the blower motor it could also be a busted thermostat. Not horrible, but if you have the 1.9 liter engine you have to take of the distributor, to get to it. New thermostat is $8.

I had to replace the blower motor and the ac worked better than great after. My recent problem is in the radiator fan. Not coming on at all. I replaced the motor, the relay, the fuses, the thermostat (was also broken), and the problem persists. This is a worst case senario. I think I have it narrowed down to a fusible link, but have to locate them.

Good luck

94 tracer problem

not sure about the popping thing, but about the fan, try hot wiring the fan motor to the battery to make sure the motor is not burnt out. could also be a relay or a fuse link. I'm working on a 95 and having trouble locating the fuse links. I replaced my radiator fan motor, thermostat was busted, dropped new fuses in and a relay. Still no fan action. Mine must be a fuse link. If you are lucky it will be something quick to diagnos. Good luck.
