Can Mercury service save me money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

How do I know if my Mercury drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Mercury Grand Marquis, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Mercury Grand Marquis differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Grand Marquis?

If your Grand Marquis has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you clear the Grand Marquis check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Grand Marquis?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Grand Marquis should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Is my Grand Marquis’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Grand Marquis is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
