#556 of 585 flashing batt light by trosenbaum Jan 29, 2008 (9:44 am)
iv had my 99 cougar for alittle under a year. When the midwest flooded pretty bad a few weeks ago, i had to have my alt replaced. After that, when i give it full throttle in a race or whatever, i have my batt light flashing at me. when i took it back to have it checked out, they couldnt figure out and all they could tell me was that my car was prolly getting to much power at a heavy acceleration.Anyone have words one that? anything would be helpful
#557 of 585 Same Old Problems !!! by jayejames Mar 04, 2008 (9:42 am)
So . . . I'm back. I own a 1999 Mercury Cougar. I've always had a problem with the CEL. Well, it was suggested to me that I should change the spark plugs. I did that. No results. I still have that same old problem, the CEL. I ran out of ideas a very long time ago. Not to mention the fact that I still haven't solved the problem with my power windows. I don't know anymore. Seriously, if there is anyone that can help, please respond. I'll check back soon. Thanks.

#560 of 585 Sunroof Dilemma by wildcougar Jun 12, 2008 (8:41 am)
My sunroof will not completely close on one side. I took to two places and was told it could run around $1400 to replace it because I guess there is no easy way to fix it unfortunately. I took it to a ford dealer to get them to at least get it to shut and they couldn't do it. Any suggestions on how I can close it??? It's not a problem until it rains. Thanks
#561 of 585 2000 Cougar Timing Belt by richard7 Jul 03, 2008 (7:04 pm)
I just bought a used 2000 w/110,000 miles. Should I replace the timing belt? Does anyone know if there is a way to tell if it's already been replaced? Also, the check engine light stays on. I believe this could be a sensor issue. Any way to tell? Thanks.

Replying to: jayejames (Mar 04, 2008 9:42 am) I can't help with the power window problem as I have not encountered that ...yet! However, I do own a 1999 Cougar with a 2.5 Duratec. The check engine light was on and off for a while then on constantly. It depends on what code it is throwing as to what is wrong with it. Mine was throwing PO400 which is a lean condition on one of the cylinder banks. I Purchased some Lucas fuel system treatment and within one tank of gas, the problem was fixed. Before I bought the code reader, I had tried several other injection system cleaners, to no avail. The Lucas product really worked for my situation. Incidentally, my MPG was improved as well. By the way, I get 35 MPG on the highway, at 70 MPH. The car gets 41 MPG at 55 MPH. I think this is real good numbers for a car that can somewhat perform when needed. I hope this helps. Lancasterench
#563 of 585 1999 Cougar Stereo problems by lancasterench Jul 08, 2008 (12:54 pm)
Does anyone have a 1999-2000 cougar that the audio system is temperature sensitive. When the inside cabin temperature is hot, the audio system does not work. However, once the AC is on for a few minutes, the cabin cools down and the audio system "comes on". My only hypothesis is that there must be a crack in the circuitry that expands and contracts depending on the temperature. Can anyone expand or otherwise explain why this is occuring? Lancasterench

#565 of 585 Sun roof by boeckman Nov 23, 2008 (4:45 pm)
Can anyone advise how to manually close the sunroof on 2002 Mercury Cougar? The sunroof is open and will not close. The motor does not make a sound and the fuse is ok... Any suggestions?
