The Sable uses the same HVAC system as the Ford Taurus. Replacement of the door by the dealer involves removing the dash, evacuating the AC and coolant systems and replacing the plastic door with another plastic door that will also break over time. HeaterTreater is the world's leader in aftermarket blend door fixes and has a kit for an easy inexpensive repair for the Mercury Sable. Diagnostic information and pictures are available on the Mercury Sable HeaterTreater Ebay listing or on the web site at www.heatertreater.net.
