2000 Mercury Cougar
It's me again! I have one more question. Since I have purchased this
car the little light that has a picture of a wrench is always on and never goes off. What does this mean? Thank you! Nat |

It comes on automatically every 4,200 or 4,800 miles. Don't remember exactly. Resetting requires holding a couple buttons for a few seconds. It's in the owners manual. Sorry I don't remember the details. I got rid of my Cougar a couple years ago. If you have a sunroof, and it hasn't been fixed yet, it WILL break ($1,200 to fix). Also watch for bad fuel pumps (replace with a Walbro, not Ford), bad alternators, fuel filler neck leaks, and some potential brake problems. |

Uh....regarding the fuel pump, maybe yes and maybe no. Ford had a recall on SOME late Cougar fuel pumps. So if your model was under the recall and you took it elsewhere to have it fixed, you threw away about $250-$300. Ford will fix this for free. Also, when you drop the tank to take out the fuel pump, Ford gives you a new and improved (allegedly) filler neck connection so it won't leak. BTW, don't ever try to replace this fuel pump without a car hoist and another man to help you. It is a pain-in-the-butt to replace. |
