1999 Mercury Tracer Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1999 Mercury Tracer describes a car with nothing optional under the hood: every one left the line with the naturally aspirated 2.0L inline-four of 121 cubic inches and its single overhead camshaft, burning gasoline. GS, LS and Trio trims and the four-door sedan and four-door wagon bodies account for the variation, and the manual handles it the way a factory book does, with shared mechanical sections first and then body- and equipment-specific wiring diagrams, torque values and adjustment procedures.

Known issues on the 1999 Tracer. The federal record shows one recall, for replacement driver's belts with a no-lock condition that keeps the assembly from restraining an occupant properly in a crash. The 34 complaints on record are spread thin: five on the service brakes, four on the electrical system and four on air bags. All three sit inside this manual's coverage, from hydraulic brake specifications and bleeding procedures to wiring diagrams for the lighting, charging and body circuits and diagnostic routines for the restraint system and its warning lamp.
