1996 Mercury Mystique - Page 8 Questions & Answers
The lens cover on both headlights are fogged
I know of a couple of techniques people have used to try to clean up these headlamps and have had varying success. Even though these headlamps may not be available from Mercury; there are lots of places that still sell aftermarket headlamp assemblies for these vehicles. I just did an internet search and several places came up offering these for sale through aftermarket suppliers.
Mystique 1996 overheat
I was told numerous times by the Lincoln Mercury mechanics that the car just "runs" hot.
Replacing the turn signal assembly switch
if you want step by step procedures go to mitchelldiy and for ten bucks you can see what tools and procedures you will need. Looking at the new part if it is round with a hole then you will need to remove the steering wheel. If its half circle then its pretty easy.
Be sure to disconnect the battery if you have air bag on the steering wheel. before you begin or the air bag could deploy.
Back break lights
Same problem have someone check the ECM and the turn signal assembly voltage. The ECM is located by fuse box under dash and turn signal assembly is in the steering wheel. But they can check the voltage on both before replacing. Good luck
With battery ground disconnected and positive
Are you sure you were touching the negative post and not the positive post. If you checked the positive post and the other wire to body chassis then you should get the reading you say here. Negative to negative is negative and you should have had no reading at all. Please do this test again being absolutly posative your touching the negative post. There will be a - sign on the battery under that post. Get back to me after the double check, Raz

I have a 1995 mercury
If you didn't check the condition of the battery on your car then one of the following could be the problem:
- Battery discharged.
- Battery terminal connections loose or corroded.
If the batter is fully charged and functional and battery terminal connections are good, then any of the following could be the problem:
- Worn, faulty or incorrectly gapped spark plugs.
- Broken loose or disconnected wire at the ignition coil/s or faulty coils.
the problem could be with the fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator or fuel injectors but not when you said you tried spraying starting fluid into the air filter and still it didn't crank.
Hope it helps and comment if you need more clarification.

Check the small wires that clip into the side of the alternator, they set the Field coil in the alternator and could be causing the issue. Also, how old is the battery? If it's bad the alternator will cook the voltage regulator because it will be at max out put all the time.
