1999 MERCURY VILLAGER

Is there a TCM/PCM in a 1999 Mercury Villager Estate? If so can it cause problems such as no reverse? I have this vehicle and had no issues till I changed the tranny oil. Because a nut would not come off the filter I did not change it. No burn, no metal frags were found in pan. After I changed the fluid I tested the car in forward and reverse and then rechecked and leveled the fluids. I let this van sit for three days and when came back to it I had two problems, no reverse and an electrical drain. I did read how you test for shorts and will try that.

Drives well in forward barely moves in first and will not move in reverse.

The fluid was changed a 84,500 and I purchased the vehicle at 82636. I have no record of the maintenance from the vehicle was tested prior to purchase.

I purchased the oil at Autozone and they said to use MA5 Mercon. I later checked this at a local Nissan dealer and the mechanic said that the oil was fien to use.

I will find the drain and fill you n later.
