You need to raise the vehicle so that the front tires are off the ground and place on jackstands. Make sure the power steering reservoir is full. With the engine off (not running) turn the steering wheel from stop to stop 2 or 3 times. Recheck the fluid level and add if necessary. Lower the vehicle to the ground. Start the engine and slowly turn from stop to stop 2 or 3 times. Recheck fluid level. If no groaning noise is heard when the engine is running or the steering wheel is turned, and no foam is observed in the reservoir when engine is stopped, then bleeding is complete.

2003 Mercury Mountaineer AWD V8 4.6 radio and entertainment wiring diagrams please?

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.

2003 Mercury Mountaineer 4.6, V8.

You need a good person with a pro grade scan tool computer. That should give a hint as it is likely to be sensor related. Change the fuel filter anyway.

Where is the fuel filter located on a 2003 Mercury Mountaineer?
It's under the vehicle in the fuel line from the tank to the engine.
