    2000 Eddie Bauer restoration, only to become a donor...

    My best guess that it's Mercurys version of the EB Explorer, I've seen one other since I've owned mine

    Power Window Motor

    Well if you're going to order an aftermarket motor you might as well order the entire assembly I ran into this on my Mountaineer, I ended up buying the entire Dorman assembly, motor and regulator, someone before me replaced the OEM with a Dorman assembly and the regulator went bad but the motor...

    Power Window Motor

    Having just went through this problem with my 2000 Mountaineer I want to put my 2 cents worth in,my drivers side front power window and regulator had been replaced by a previous owner with a Dorman unit, the regulator went bad but the motor was still operational, I ordered just the Dorman...

    2000 Explorer XLT Hatch won't close

    My 2000 Mountaineer has the same problem yours does, have tried adjusting the hinges on the hatch but no success, I think maybe the hinges themselves could be sprung a little but haven't went into it any further,good luck with solving the problem.

    2nd gen 5.0 vs 4.0 witch is better built

    Yes, I bought my 2000 Mountaineer AWD last year mainly because it had the 5.0 over the others and so far its performed like a champ even though I don't need the AWD where I live though.

    Installing a 2nd gen rear hatch single handed.

    Have a question for you,did you remove upper bolt in the hinges or just the two lower ones on each side,my 2000 Mountaineer has bent hinges causing the hatch to stick above the roofline and causing it to leak, would like to pull the hinges and either straighten or replace them but I don't know...

    Which trims had MACH/JBL option?

    My 2000 Mountaineer has this same unit and display is a dead player,I have read both the power board and the display board could be at fault,Dorman sells a replacement power unit for these but only place I see them possibly available is at O'Reillys

    Which trims had MACH/JBL option?

    Mine is like that too, everything works except the display although I understand that is a common problem with these,I have a second one that is the same way.

    Did you check your pressure cap to see if it's working correctly,of it isn't the water flow won't work as its supposed to,my Mountaineer is having the same issues and the cap wasn't holding pressure but now I am experiencing the same heater valve you mentioned,it acts like the vacuum isn't...

    HVAC fan won't run at No. 4?

    I have the automatic temperature control in my Mounty and just wondering where the resistor is located,under the hood or inside the vehicle.

    HVAC fan won't run at No. 4?

    Dorman number for automatic temperature control is #973-567 That is the number for models with manual temperature control,number for automatic temperature control is #973-567

    Door Lock switch and Power Mirror switch getting 8 volts

    Well I disassembled my mirror switch awhile back and sprayed inside with electrical cleaner also the spring steel contacts tend to not make good contact but bending them slightly will restore them I had that problem with my Mountaineer.

    HVAC fan won't run at No. 4?

    Wonder if that's the problem with my 2000 Mounty?it only runs on high speed also, I had same problem on a 2000 Monte Carlo O had some years ago and the new resistor solved the problem so that's been on my mind as far as the problem as well as the dash switch but haven't had the to check it out yet.

    Yet another power seat issue!

    Thanks I'll have to check into that ☺️

    Yet another power seat issue!

    Yes it is,both front seats go forward and back the same distance so maybe adding a block to the pedal so she can reach it without straining is going to be the answer since I've had to do that before for her.
  23. R

    Yet another power seat issue!

    Well it goes forward pretty well but she has trouble reaching the pedal,might have to put a block on it,she doesn't drive it often but sometimes she needs to.
