Price the repair. Ford does have some Credit programs for car repairs and you might be surprised about the terms. Their own Credit card can be used for oil changes and tires as well as brakes and so forth. Your problem is not only with starting but can result in the car lurching or rolling if not properly repaired.

go to the trunk and open...look inside drivers side and there should be a reset button. press it to reset.

There seems to be several issues. Can't say a lot about the gauges not working except that relays power groups of equipment functions and if a relay does not provide power then the gauges can't work. For a fast idle, a sequence called the "cold start sequence" is suppose to increase idle. This is triggered by an engine temperature sensor. Some cars have 2 with one working the dash gauges and the other is used to work the engine controls. Yours is likely either sending a signal that the engine is hot (and it is not) or the signal is missing. When the engine knows it is cold, the idle will speed up until the engine is warm. The dim headlights can be dim from a power drain, or the engine is not idling fast enough to charge.

Take to one of the big car parts stores and ask them to scan the trouble codes.

The temperature switch on the side of the upper radiator hose is not working. That is, if the engine is hot. Boiling over - need to check thermostat. Grab on to upper hose (should be hot) than with engine off, grab bottom radiator hose. It also should be same temperature as top. If so, thermostat ok. Electric radiator fan - turn Ac on. Fans should run. No, check fuses & relay. Mechanical fan - with engine off, the blade should be stiff to turn. Easy, replace fan clutch. Usually, low level of water is most common. Wish you well.

Your heater core is leaking and needs to be replaced. Nasty job so have a mechanic do it.

Did it die due to running out of fuel? Or did it overheat and u have a blown head or gasket. Chl your compression

The power locks are controlled by a body module, it can be tested to see what the problem is, you need the test run with a special scan tool called an Ford NGS scanner

Blend door actuator may be bad. Happens a lot. don-ohio (:^)

You have not shared what art of the country you live in, but I may be able to guess your answer. All cars as old as yours are subject to brake failure, usually from leaking or rusted components. A good inspection now should show you the rear brakes are bad, and perhaps the brake lines have rusted through. Could also be a rear brake cylinder has failed, leaking out your brake fluid, and causing the brakes to give out when you needed them most. Routine inspection probably would not have caught that, but having your brakes serviced every 7 - 10 years should have prevented it. Lots of people do not do a complete brake service because it can get really expensive, though it would prevent your accident. The acceleration problem is a whole different matter. God bless your efforts.

You have the polarity of the battery backward somewhere. Did you replace the starter and hook it up backwards. Difficult but possible. Check your positive and negative on the battery itself.

The short answer is no. The truck has a 110amp or 130 amp, and the car only has a 130 amp, but all of the part numbers are different anyway. A salvage yard could tell you which years would fit the Mercury.

You can't. there are many other things it controls, so you'll have to replace it or get one form a junk yard.. Much cheaper that way.
