| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We purchased a used (28k miles) 2002 mercury villager in 8'06. as i later found out this is a sister to the nissan quest. within 2 months it started to have periodic starting problems - meaning all power seemed ok, but when the key was turned, only a clicking sound was heard. we discovered sometimes this could be corrected by opening & closing the doors, or cycling the locks. after searching the web i found others with what appeared to be a similar problem and what others claimed the fix was. it seems an anti-theft ignition inhibit relay is the culprit. it seems to me failure of this relay should be be in a fail-safe fashion. nonetheless, is there a factory tsb for this issue from mercury or nissan? is there a part available to correct this problem? already my wife and kids have been stranded due to this problem and i imagine someone somewhere may have an actual emergency. *nm |
