Q: What is the purpose of relays in a Mercury Cougar's electrical system and how can a faulty relay be identified and fixed?
A: When transmitting the electrical signal to the component, several electrical accessories in the vehicle are using relays. The defective relay leads to a malfunctioning component. These different relays are grouped at various places. In case of suspicion of a faulty relay, it can be removed and checked by a dealer service department or repair shop. Malfunctional relays must be changed as an assembly.
