1999 Mercury Sable makes a whirring sound?

May 20, 5743 by kylewkingery1991 | Posted in Mercury

The whirring unimpaired isn't terribly loud, but it is audible. I can usually hear it with the radio on, but especially when it is off. The sound goes away when the curb pedal is pressed, but resumes as soon as I let off of the brake pedal. What could this be?

a couple of questions?

I have a link of questions.

My mom just got me a car. (a 94 Mercury cougar xr7) anyways, one of my questions is apparently the radio doesn't business. Well like the lights on it showing the station & stuff works, but when I try to tune it, I hear like a straighten out of clicking sound, it's more of a popping noise, & then when I get to a station, nothing comes out. I can hear it searching, but too it doesn't off at a station. When I get it to one, yeah, nothing comes out. so, could that be my speakers or the stereo?

Also, I was looking to change my stereo, cause it's a cassette radio stereo one, so, how do you eliminate the faceplate or whatever it needs to get the stereo out, to put a new one in it?

Sorry I don't know didilly. Being almost in my mid 20s, I don't know nuttin.

Anyway, could someone help me. Thanks.
I can't let you recollect any other way, but I live in Houston, Texas.

Does it down attack as any surprise that I would know most of these answers?

Very few cajuns actually French. They speak...cajun creole which is a very countrified construct of French And I very seriously doubt if they can effectively communicate with any French speakers. (I am of cajun blood). Now some of the see slickers may speak French, though (I do.). But the city slickers ain't cajuns...they are just Louisianians.

And scrapple is more like a gellified mush than a sausage and consists of hog scraps and corn breakfast or flour. The redneck version is called souse or better known as hog's head cheese and does not use corn lunch or flour and is much more gelled. The two are very similar...but hog's head cheese is definitely better!

2000 Mercury Sable Overheating?

Nov 14, 2009 by *DK* | Posted in Mercury

Arrogate! My 2000 3.0L V6 Merc Sable is OVERHEATING. It has 99k on it, drives great.

It overheated yesterday, I drove 30 minutes to another burgh, it did fine. I came out of a store, started her up, drove 10 seconds and noticed the temp gaude needle was above the H. I panicked and pulled over.

My bf opened the hood fist before the coolant exploded and spewed from beneath the cap...and I mean SPEWED, it gushed out.

Drove 2 secs to a close shop.

Mechanic said a fan failed to kick on unless he beat it with his fist, haha. I am weary...I am a 20 yr old college student, with a part time job...no cash, this is my life this Merc Sable.

I call my bro my he's a mechanic 250 miles away...he told me to have the radiator and some other things coercion tested for a leak. then he told me about something to do with "PSI". I know he would know what is wrong with the car if he could check it out, but he cant, so i can only talk to him by phone..I'll have the mechanic talk to him on the phone too...so they can chat about this stuff but I'd like to know anything you can tell me just incase I cant reach my bro.


He changed the thermostat about 7 months ago, including tranny clarify, cabin filter, oil filter...plus he changes the oil everytime i come home, which is about every 4k mi, I do not trust most mechanics so I reasonable treck 250 mi home to see family and have my car checked out.

Now I cant go home bc my car will keep overheating so I hope this mechanic is friendly. He is a christian man and has bible quotes and all the christian stuff in his shop, even has it blaring over the radio. Being christian has nothing to do with your skills, although I ambition he is an honest christian and wont rip me off.

So I think I should have my radiator pressure tested, although there is no leaks present, my oil is not a milky color and coolant doesnt chink anywhere and is bright green and not brown.

There is no leaking inside the cabin of the car so I probably can say the heater core isnt busted. It may insufficiency a flushing though because my heater doesnt work either, hasnt for the whole time Ive had this car. Ive heard when people have flushed their heater cores, a whole group together of rust gunk comes out and fixes their heaters temporarely.

Also when the mechanic had to hit one of my fans to make it employment, the other one didnt work at all, so maybe it is an electrical problem with the fan...or is the second fan only supposed to come on when the temp of the car reaches a inescapable point?

I also know there is a possibility with the water pump busting??? if you know about that please tell me all about it and how it could fake my fans in any way, im dying to know.

Anything anyone could tell me would help! ID APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH!

SO, what is making my fans not turn on?

Id like to give the mechanic any tips I can from scrutinization so I know there can only be a few problems with the car and have him not pull my leg and make me pay for a new head gasket repair when mine is perfectly fine, ya identify?

thank you so much!

well, overheating can very well clap a head. its a good sign that the car still starts. that shows that no compression is being lost through a crack in the head. your fan is controlled by a tamp whip. this switch also gives you your temp reading on the gauge. the temp switch tells the cooling fan control part when to turn the fan on. if the mechanic had to hit your fan to turn it on you probably have a short it the fan motor. a new fan would be needed. if the control unit proves to be bad you can always wire you fan to a redirect to avoid costly repairs. however, doing this would force you to keep a constant eye on your temp gauge so you know when you requirement to turn it on. the fan should kick on around 3/4 on the gauge( about 200-220 deg.) as for your overheating, this could be caused by several different things. your thermostat may not be operating fittingly(stuck closed), your water pump could have failed(you would see coolant leaking out the seep hole...beautiful obvious honestly). your radiator could be clogged with dirt, bugs and other crap you run into while driving down the road. your fan not turning on when needed (while sitting at an non-operative, your temp goes up pretty quickly).
your brother is right about the pressure test. you shouldnt overwhelm 13 psi on the gauge for the tester. however, this will only tell you if there are leaks. it will show if the water pump has blown a seal causing it to seepage out the seep hole.
what you should have done: do the pressure test to check the water pump(replace it if needed), coppers the thermostat(again), replace the fan motor(check to make sure the fan kicks on when its suppose to. otherwise hard-wire the fan to a toggle twitch which should be mounted in the cab of the car) and do a radiator flush. having the flush professionally done should help with your heater issues as well. and discontinuation your hoses...you could have a clogged hose. also have your radiator blown out(the mechanic will use a air nozzle with lite air pressure to do this( to much air weight could destroy the fins on the radiator....wouldnt be good...the radiator has to have air moving through it to cool the coolant)
the alternate fan in your engine compartment is for the A/C. air moves across the condenser to keep the pressure on the high side of the A/C around 250psig. this fan will only turn on when you pivot your a/c on it is controlled by a fan switch on the high pressure line...if the a/c is operable.
just cause the mechanic is a christian doesnt unaccommodating he doesnt have a business to run...he WILL get every penny out of you that he can. in a professional manner of course.
hope this helped. feel spontaneous to email me if you have any other questions

by David Pollak

NASHVILLE — Existent advice today: Both Brad Staubitz and Devin Setoguchi will be out of the lineup tonight.

For Staubitz, it’s because of an maltreatment during a very lightly attended work yesterday as a puck struck him exacting on the put side of the kisser below the eye. It happened as he was fatiguing to telly goalie Thomas Greiss when defenseman Jason Demers took a like a flash.

“Integrity away, I didn’t have in mind he was distress because it looked like he turned in on occasion,” said Jamie McGinn, one fo the five players on the ice at the antiquated. “When he was on the terrain, I said, ‘Stauby, are you OK?’ and he said, ‘No, I’m not.’ You knew something was opprobrious then because he’s a very vigorous guy. It was precisely a monster accessory.”
