Hello everyone, I've got alot of great info here and hope you all can help me once again. I have a 98 Mercury Sable with the DOHC engine and automatic climate control. I'm having 2 problem.
1. When the A/C or defroster is on, after a short time the interior blower motor and the radio will shut off, like a breaker has tripped. After a second or two they come back on, like a breaker has reset. When they come back on I also get an engine surge to 1500+ RPM.
Think I know what #2 is but will ask anyway.
2. When I turn the wheel I hear a squeaky groaning noise from the front of the car, I also hear it in the column. Doesn't sound like it's from the P/S pump. I'm thinking it's the rack.
I've also just noticed that I have a P1000 code, I know this is code you get after disconnecting the battery, the battery has NOT been disconnected. Wondering if problem #1 is causing the obd to reset as well.
Thank you all in advance for any help.
Randy.
