2005 Mercury Monterey Repair Question


Topics covered: Sensor, Trouble code, Warning light.
Mileage: 95,000 miles.

Asked on March 17, 2012

Traction control & cruse control

After driving a few minutes the traction control light comes on & won't reset. I don't know if it is related to the cruse, but it would seem that it does. If the warning light has not come on, cruse comes on as soon as you want it. If traction control light is on, it would seem to be almost impossible to set the cruse.

I have no problems with this van. It is very nice & dependable.

Thanks, Steve

It could be that the speed sensor is going bad. Have the trouble codes pulled. Any Auto Zone or Advance Auto will do this for free.

I'm on a fixed income, disability. I don't have much money. Infact, I may not be able to buy the part to fix it. Please send me your business name & address. If this is the fix I need, I will definately & gladly send you a check...I give you my word.

Thanks,
Steve
