Mercury Mountaineer

On the 1997 Mercury Mountaineer, the water pump is typically located on the front of the engine, driven by the fan belt. It is usually housed behind the timing cover or at the front of the engine block. It is essential for circulating coolant to keep the engine running at the optimal temperature.

Your 1997 Mercury Mountaineer may be sliding in snow due to a lack of traction, worn-out tires, or poor weight distribution. It's essential to ensure your tires have adequate tread and are suitable for winter conditions. Additionally, cautiously adjusting your speed and braking can help improve traction in snowy conditions.

The wheel bearings on a Mercury Topaz help support the weight of the vehicle and allow the wheels to rotate smoothly. If you notice a humming or grinding noise coming from the wheels, it could indicate a failing wheel bearing that needs to be replaced. It is recommended to have a professional mechanic inspect and replace the wheel bearings if necessary to ensure safe driving conditions.

The time to change wheel bearings on a Mercury Capri can vary depending on the skill level of the person performing the task and if any complications arise. On average, it may take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours to replace the wheel bearings on one wheel.

try checking the fuse box..... the numbers for the fuses are located in the manual

You have to take it to the dealer there is no way for you to check it

You can check the transmission fluid, there is a little window on the side of the transmission on the drivers side that shows the fluid level and you can also add transmission fluid on that same side. They just tell you to take it to a dealer so they can make more money!

Check the site www.maxima.org - Look at the forum "Stickies" - there are a number of how-to's for nearly all maxima's including water pump change-out. Since you have a 1997 model, look under "4th Generation Maxima" Water pump service on you 1997 is one of the more difficult DIY fixes since the pump is driven by the timing chain, recesssed in the engine, and somewhat difficult to get to.

When sitting in the drivers seat, it is in front of your left shin...pull the cover off where it says fuses and look at the diagram on the back of the cover. match up the one on the drawing with the one on the fuse box.

You can get to the fuel pump by pulling up the seat cushion on the rear seat. There is access to the fuel pump there. You simply twist off the locking mechanism, pull out the old pump, and drop in a new one. It took me about 10 minutes to do mine.
