Why does my mercury montego security light flash

I tried reset options in manual but the security light inside the car flashes every few seconds. What does it mean, and should I try to get it to stop?

It flashes due to a problem i the systems sensors. You must have the dealer scan the system to see what the faulty area is that is causing the light to flash indicating a fault.

sounds like your passlock sensor on the ignition barrel is faulty. you will have to go to the dealer to have it replaced because of the programming after replacement.

SOURCE: My truck won't start. The security light flashes

Looks like the TDM in the security system (VATS/PassKey) is having problems, it can get worse till the car wont start anymore. You can find a great write-up here: http://newrockies.ca , it was the only thing that saved my Park Avenue.

Reset security system

To review - the factory VATS security system will not let the engine crank or start if the wrong key is used or there is a problem with the system.
So if the engine was cranking the security system was not at fault.
You may have to get a used shop manual to get the testing procedures for a no start-stall problem.

Mercury Montego won't start. Started 10 minutes

You could check the Inertia switch and see if the fuel pump is cut off.
If that is Okay I would disconnect the battery and see if the system reboots.
If it starts after that, go to Autozone or Oreillys for a free scan.
If it does not start, then try putting in the security code if you have a keypad. If no keypad, then try your other carkey, your ID chip may have died.

Oil change light

Look up the light on the part of your owners manual that explains what each idiot light is for on your dash. That should give you a page where more information on it is available. Part of that section should state that if maintenance is done by someone other then your Mercury dealer, then do the following to reset the light. That should take care of ya.

Good Luck

2005 mercury montego message center

LOL!!! I had the same problem. I can't recall the exact steps, but there aren't that many options, so you'll get this. With the car running, press the Info button on the left side. It will cycle through the various statuses of the car. At one point, it will get to the Oil and will tell you something like "Press Reset if New." Press it and hold that darned button until it acknowledges that you changed the oil. It will reset that message from 0% to 100%. It took me a couple of tries to get that to reset. Just keep trying it till it resets. You'll get it.
