Sounds like a relay or other electrical device is noisy , only way to find out is to strip out instrument panel and try to locate the 'noisey' item, a good place to start is the fuel gauge as they have a resistor build in and they can cause a buzzing when the are getting worn out , fault finding at it's best , good luck and take your time and be patient and keep me posted if you wish

SOURCE: 95 jeep wrangler: gauge indicates 0 oil pressure

Wire on oil sending unit may have fallen off or sensor itself may have gone bad. Check both. If engine has no tapping noises, likely it's not a pressure problem.

2002 Mercury Grand Marquis LS Beeps and the fuel tank register rises with each beep?

Question edited for clarity, make and model names (it is written all over the vehicle :>).
Question moved to sub category.

For strangeness like that, it is best to take the car to an auto-electrician with a pro grade scan tool. It is a known issue if you want to try and fix it yourself. Watch all the videos, but they deal with gauge problems, not the beeping. Partway down says it is caused by an evap hose leak.

225 Mercury optimax, surges from 4500 rpm to 5000rpm and back,won't reach 5600.

could be several things , Check fuel pressure and flow, if flow is low replace fuel filter, if pressure is low check fuel regulator, if ok replace fuel pump. Check throttle position switch for smooth movement . A misfiring coil or spark plug HT cables can also cause this fault.

Fuel pump runs constantly with key on engine off. pulled fuel pump relay and fp fuse on firewall and pump still runs and engine will run. pulled guage fuse in dash and pump quits. reconnect fuel pump fuse...

Gauge fuse runs a fuel module that is installed to correct vapor lock. This module is what is running the pump. This module, called the hot fuel module is mounted on the passenger side behind the dash above the blower motor.

Where is a fuel filter located on a 2002 mercury mountaineer My car is slugish when it is stopped at a stop sign could this help if i change the fuel filter

Here's a step by step, with photos, on how to replace an Explorer fuel filter. The Mountaineer should be exactly the same. The problem you describe can be attributed to the fuel filter. Good luck.

Wher is the fuel filter located on a 2003 Mercury Mountaineer and how do you change it?

Mercury Mountaineer fuel filter is located in front and on top of fuel tank behind two shields. . When you look just behind the front passenger side tire you will see the first shield. Behind that is the second. U will need to buy the fuel line release tools to get the lines off the filter, any good auto parts store will have these.
