Check with a hot rod shop. They may have information on computer programming gurus. Most Ford dealers won’t deal with the now defunct Mercury stuff.

Find another shop or the Dealer who has the software to do it. Hope that helps! Jim

I have a 2004 Mercury Mountaineer, V8, AWD, My problem, I think is in the computer? When I shut the engine off and try yo exit and lock the vehicle, setting the factory alarm system it won't do it. The digital display says that there is a "DOOR AJAR". I have checked all the doors as bet I can and they appear closed. BUT the interior lights remain on and the alarm will not set because off the ajar message. Am I missing something? Is the computer having a brain cramp.? I can get the alarm to set if I manually shut off the interior/dash lights too off. then it will work but no interior lights on the dash. This is driving me nuts. Can uou help?Thanks,John 12 Answers
