Here are some more information for Taurus Sable:

Legend has it, the Mercury Montego got its name from Montego Bay, Jamaica. It was first introduced in the late 60s as a substitute for the famous Mercury Comet and was meant to compete with the increasing number of imported cars. These Mercury coupes and sedans were larger in build compared to the Comet and provided better performance and luxury alternatives. The Cyclone edition was the entry of the division in the then-famous muscle car segment.

By the middle of 1970s, the Mercury Montego had considerably grown in size and eventually the production was discontinued. However, its name was not without its share of successes. A Mercury Montego accomplished victory in several NASCAR races.

In the 70s, the Montego offered additional features such as the woodgrained MX Villager station wagon and the new 4-door hardtops. The 1970 and the 1971 Cyclones and Montegos were best known for their grille centers and forward-thrusting hood. In addition, their concealed headlamps offered additional difference and straightforward classification for 1970 Broughams and Villagers.

The 1972 Montego was made on a single wheelbase and with elemental construction while the 1972 to 1976 models were manufactured on body-on-frame. They used 118 inches span for wagons and sedans while for coupe models, they used 2,900 mm span.

The Montego GT, the sporty fastback coupe was introduced in the years 1972 and 1973. Montego GT was made to replace the Cyclone and this resulted to significant increase in sales in 1972.

The Montego name was 'missing in action' throughout the years 1980s and 1990s but Mercury revived the Montego name for its 2005 model year. It was actually still a replica of a Ford but it had different taillights and grille. However, this latest model of the Montego revival was short-lived because Mercury dumped the name and returned to the more famous Sable moniker starting with the 2008 model year.

Before the Mercury Montego changed its name, it offered a spacious trunk and cabin, all-wheel drive and a unique elevated driving position. In addition, its Volvo-derived foundation provided it with a solid feeling from the driver seat. If you find the Mercury Montego interesting, you are fortunate because you can still find auto shops and even online auction houses that offer low resale values of the Montego.

The Crash Testing

Have you seen those commercials on television today where they show new motor vehicles slamming into a solid wall with the crash dummies in the car? If so, you should be comforted to know that every single car sold in the United States must pass a variety of different safety tests and crash safety tests before it is added to the market. These tests are run by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. This agency is dedicated to reducing the number of injuries and deaths that occur on the nation's roadways each year by testing the cars that are sold within the country.

The number of car crashes in this country is declining each year as well as the number of fatalities that occur as a result of these crashes and the reason for this is the use of crash test dummies during crash testing. The crash test dummies are equipped with three main pieces of equipment that include accelerometers, load sensors, and motion sensors that help the crash test staff determine whether or not a vehicle can be deemed safe. The dummies come in all shapes and sizes to represent different body sizes of males and females. They also represent children as well, in car seats or in regular seats.

The top safety picks for the calendar year 2009 as rated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety are separated into the groups of large cars, midsize cars, midsize convertibles, small cars, minivans, minicars, large SUVs, midsize SUVs, small SUVs, large pickups and small pickups. The top safety picks for 2009 for large cars are the Acura RL, the Audi A6, the Cadillac CTS, the Ford Taurus, the Lincoln MKS, the Mercury Sable, the Toyota Avalon and the Volvo S80. The top safety picks for the calendar year 2009 for small midsize cars are the Acura TL, the Acura TSX, the Audi A3, the Audi A4, the BMW 3 Series, the Ford Fusion, the Honda Accord, the Mercedes S Class, the Mercury Milan, the Saab 9-3, the Subaru Legacy, the Volkswagen Jetta and the Volkswagen Passat.

The award winners for midsize convertibles are the Saab 9-3, the Volkswagen Eos and the Volvo C70. The small cars winners are the Honda Civic, the Mitsubishi Lancer, the Scion XB, the Subaru Impreza, the Toyota Corolla, and the Volkswagen Rabbit. The minicar winner is the Honda Fit. The minivan winners are the Honda Odyssey, the Hyundai Entourage, and the Kia Sedona. The Large SUV winners are the Audi Q7, the Buick Enclave, the Chevrolet Traverse, the GMC Acadia, and the Saturn Outlook. The midsize SUV winners are Acura MDX, the Acura RDX, the BMW X3, the BMW X5, the Ford Edge, the Ford Flex, the Ford Taurus X, the Honda Pilot, the Hyundai Santa Fe, the Hyundai Veracruz, the Infiniti EX35, the Lincoln MKX, the Mercedes M Class, the Nissan Murano, the Saturn Vue, the Subaru Tribeca, the Toyota FJ Cruiser, the Toyota Highlander and the Volvo XC90. These crash test rating are released each year for every type of vehicle.

How do i replace a 1999 Mercury sable power Mirror? I got a taurus one from the junkyard.?

The sables mirror no longer works and the mirror sags down and doesnt stay up? How can i Fix that or else how can i install the other mirror? Take of the door panel, unplug harness and install it or wat? Also if anyone knows where the screws are at, where door clips are, and how to properly take it off that would b good too. Thanks.
Thanks, i didnt have to remove the panel completely to do it, but now my door locks are all messed up? any ideas? the wires are fine

1 screw is in the hand hold if I remember under cap, 4 are along the outside edge, remove cover behind door handle on inside, door panel should slide up if I remember..(after pulling back on that sail panel)

should be 3 11mm nuts holding the mirror in place and the one connector..have an assistant hold the mirrors as you remove and replace...

install door panel back like you took off and you should be in business.
