How do i check my charging system for my 2003 Mercury mountaineer

It is never as straightforward as you think because the entertainment system is monitored and run by the body control module and put warning chimes and things like the blinker clicker through the audio system.

How can you decide if it is worth fixing if you have no idea what is wrong, it could be major or minor issue. Have it diagnosed before you decide. If it is not running the value of the truck is zip.

Sounds like a cylinder misfire to me. Scan your computer system for fault codes. If no codes are present, you can use mode 6 data to determine which cylinder or cylinders are not contributing and diagnose and repair accordingly.

you need to check your charging system... check the date on your battery, inspect all connections and power leads. with car running test power leads with a voltmeter, normal operating threshold is around 14v while running.

I suggest check battery charge, starter and ignition system condition; fuel pressure and fuel injection delivery system.

If you have some anti-theft system, check if this inst activated or some aftermark alarm.

Hope helps.

Your transmission will need to be service by a professional, as it is a close system.

There is one for the 2003 Mercury Mountaineer. If you are smellign a "vinegar" odor, mix a solution of 1 part bleach to 3 parts water and pour it down the grid at the base of the windshield. It will take care of the smell.

No there isn't a fuse that controls your charging system. There is the main connector that has a big eyelet that should have 12 volts at all times. Then there is a 3 pin connector and 1 of those wires should have power at all times as well. This means even with the key in the off position. Any questions let me know. Everything on the alternator is on a fusable link. Good luck.

The power distribution box is
located in the engine compartment.
The power distribution box contains
high-current fuses that protect your
vehicle’s main electrical systems
from overloads.
The starter relay is in position #56 of that box.
