Video

If you don't have time to sit there and watch the light flash for nothing, skip to 1:25.

Quick backstory on this car.My uncle bought it brand new in 2006.During his time of ownership he encountered a battery drain problem so he had that kill switch put in.He stopped driving the car in 2019 and gave it to me in April of this year for free after the transmission on my mercury sable died.

WELL IM NEVER GETTING THIS TIME BACK.

Was the steering pump replaced?

Should be called anti-owner start system.

Hola amigo! Me podrias ayudar para conocer como deben ir conetadas correctamente las mangueras de todo el siatema de refrigerante desde el depósito. Tengo un Mercury sable 2001 y tengo problema de calentamiento por que hay poca circulación. Ya remplazaron, termostato, bomba de agua, radiador, deposito de refeigerante pero no se bien cono es la conexión correcta de las mangueras, me podrias ayudar por favor!

Thanks

My alternator turned out to be bad witch is why the battery went dead in the first place.

Are you gonna fix the leather on the steering wheel?

How’d you 255k out of the transmission?

This video was pointless and no help at all

The ignition requires a chip in the key for it to start. If you get a replacement key, you have to go for a special key for that make and model. A regular key won’t work.

You don't see to many on the road any more.

was that year Sable and Taurus the same body style?

Hey man. I feel ya. cheer up. It will work out. just push forward it will come together.

I have a ford five hundred 2005 limited and tye battery on my car died. After I changed the battery, the horn started to blare and the engine wasn't starting. Apparently, it was an issue with the passive anti theft system and it wasn't allowing it to start. The solution is whenever you change the battery on this car one is supposed to take off the positive terminal off and then another person needs to sit in the car and hold the key to start the engine while pressing a small black switch which is under the left side of steering wheel near driver's left knee, at the same time when you try to start it another person need to connect the positive terminal and the car will start. The dealership asked me to tow in the car and said they will charge 200$ for it. Additionally, before I put in the new battery, when I jump started the car, I saw all kinds of lights like check engine, check transmission, check charging system and now after changing the battery and doing the above steps all lights are gone and car worked fine and I hope it keeps driving fine.

Correction the Vulcan motors are the better ones to get in the sable\taurus because although the Vulcan lacks horsepower it doesn’t burn out the transmission.

It must have really sucked parting ways with the Sable. If you don't mind me asking, how long was the Sable in the family?

I understand everything that you said Kinda sad when had to dump the Sable at the Junkyard. Because the transmission was sucked

The motor still ran great too.

👌 *promosm*

What's your new car going to be next? Also new sub!

Update:Sadly despite this vehicle’s low mileage I had to scrap it today.It had 71558 miles on it.The transmission had completely lost 2nd gear.These cars are not bad but there transmissions are absolutely horse sh🤬it.

What sucks the most is that the rest of the car is in good condition.In general I don’t think the sable’s/ Taurus’s of this generation are bad cars.Its just ford had to put sh🤬t transmissions in them. My next car is going to be a 2006 Acura TL.I should be getting it sometime this weekend.

How many miles on the Sable now? Sucks to hear the transmission gave out, but was kinda expecting that!

Caj my 3100 tester help

Cool. HOW DO YOU FIX IT!

its the y pipe . its the one that needs to be replace

So how do you fix it???

whats in that engine man never heard of the LS trim for sable

Nice looking Mercury Sable btw

I also got a 2000 Ford Taurus My Mileage isn't that high. It's only 79,828 Mileage in my Taurus

“I have to spend 42 minutes picking the right radio station for you”

This is an old video from December 2020 when the car was not yet mine.It sat so the battery was weak.

I just came here cause I have this car now at 280k miles and you just made me realize…I have no idea where my cigarette plug went 😂😂😂

That's useless

The axle problem happened in October of 2022 not 2023.Also another issue is that the driver side window switch went bad but that has also been fixed.I also forgot to mention that I got this car for free.

Is your ford vehicle not starting? As a mechanic I suggest you also check 15 other potential reasons.

Did you take the books?

This generation of Mercury Sable/Ford Taurus lasted from 1996 to 1999.A real shame it was scrapped with such low mileage.

That’s where all the fords belong

Definitely some good parts on it. Not sure if it’s worth saving.

Mine lights up after a minute every 4 seconds

If you guys like these junkyard car videos I will definitely do more of them in the future

What about blinking 1_7 2006 fusion

Damn thats a low mileage for that sable!

Only 67,000 miles

Nice car! 👍

Yes I am aware of the low coolant light.Its not low on coolant and it’s never overheated. It’s most likely just a bad sensor.

Thank you
