| Description of the problem | I was driving home on a busy city street when i stop at a stop light to turn right. When i went to accelerate my mercury mountaineer when in to limp mode. As i inspected the suv for problems i noticed the my engine/transmission wire harness was brittle and exposing bare wire and that the wires were touching each others cause them to short off the vehicle computer system and frying electrical components. It also caused the transmission to malfunction and shift wrong which in turn causing the torque converter to fail and destroy the transmission. |
