I have a 2008 merc mariner premier. My wrench light came on. I replaced the transmission (brand new from Ford). After research I came to understand that power train is involved with this issue. Don

Wrench light on when temp is under 70 degrees outside. Weird, right? If it's warm out, light does not come on.mmwhat gives? I know it must be power train issue.

There is probably a scanner which can diagnose this. It would be more elaborate than the 100-200 dollar units.

There is a sensor which prevents the transmission from shifting into final drive until the engine warms up. Could be the wrench light is telling you that it is missing this signal or the signal values do not match specs.

You should have some guarantee for the money you paid. The dealer should offer to tow your car in. Discuss if they installed a bad part or made a bad guess. If anything they should not charge you for a bad guess. Let the dealer try to resolve this and if you don't get satisfaction ask for an appointment with the factory representative. Sometimes a fresh eye from another mechanic will help.

My 2008 Mercury Mariner does not shift gears well and the orange wrench light is on.

Your transmission needs to be diagnosed, either the TCM ( transmission control module ) is defective or the transmission has mechanical problems.

I have a 2008 Mercury Mariner and my wrench light came on. My engine is also having problems shifting gears (the rpm's go really high before it will shift gears) Any idea what is causing this? I...

The Wrench light is a Throttle/Powertrain light, if its shifting weird this may be a problem. It could be a few things. I would take it to a repair shop that deals in hybrid parts, maybe even a dealer. Here is a link that goes in-depth of the Wrench light. As the article says it could be anything from a $12 part to a $1,000 hybrid part. Some are getting this light do to overheating of the Hybrid batteries, hope this helps,
