SOURCE: how to get to rear seat driver's side fuse box?

Open the rear doors Follow the carpet to the bottom of the rear seats. You will see staples along the carpet. (This is to adhere Velcro to the carpet.) Separate at that seam. Reach in and pull the carpet forward. The Fuse boxes are long narrow black boxes. (its tight and you have to use some force to pull the carpet back. Fuse boxes are located on both the driver side and passenger side. Good luck!

SOURCE: 2005 Mercury Mountaineer rear end whine, how hard to fix

Before you do this you might want to try fresh gear lube. On Ford products they use a synthetic additive in the rear and not in the front 4x4 axle.
The next thing would be to determine if it is a wheel bearing or a pinion bearing. You have to pull the axles and eliminate them as the problem. You might get lucky and not need to do the pinion.
The technical part of shimming the pinion gears with replacing the pinion bearing is about the worst part of the job. You won't know about the gears until you see them. You will need extra shims on hand.
It is a moderate job for two people. If you have all the parts it can be done in a day.

you either have a weak latching device or a misaligned striker that strikes the latch which will catch it and keeps it closed securely

We have a 2008 Swan windup with rear l/h side windup mechanism failure. We are currently lifting by hand and placing a pole alongside the complete extension & taping it in place. Can this be fixed?

Anything can be fixed.....for a price. A dealer could do it but I'm sure it will be spendy, but if you know any men with mechanical aptitude, you might find parts in a wrecking yard and have them fix it for you.

It sounds like your lock actuator is dying, or something is jamming up.
If your car is a 2008, then this should be covered under warranty to fix.

If you do want to fix it yourself, you can. On the inside trim, you can remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls. Pull back the weather seal and you can access the inside of the door
