Q: What is the function of the turn signal/hazard flasher and how can it indicate a faulty turn signal bulb or other issues on Mercury Cougar?
A: The turn signal/hazard flasher, located to the right of the steering column, flashes the signals. A clicking sound indicates proper functioning. No click suggests a faulty bulb. If both signals fail, it could be a blown Fuse, faulty flasher, broken switch, or loose connection. Check for a short before replacing a blown fuse. To replace the flasher, pull it out of the clip and ensure the replacement is identical. Installation is the reverse.
