It doesn't have a distributor. It has a DIS, (Distributorless Ignition System).
Nedd the following information; Year model: Engine size: V8/V6:
To replace the front crankshaft seal on a 1999 Mercury Cougar V6, first disconnect the battery and remove the necessary components, such as the serpentine belt, crankshaft pulley, and timing cover. Once you have access to the crankshaft, carefully pry out the old seal using a seal puller or screwdriver. Clean the sealing surface, lubricate the new seal with oil, and gently tap it into place. Finally, reassemble the components in reverse order, ensuring everything is properly torqued.
Answering this question is difficult without a year and motor size provided. I have experience with many Cougars from 1987 on - and all but one were completely timed by the computer without a distributor. The 3.8l engines 1994 and newer all had computer-controlled ignitions with coil packs and a crankshaft position sensor, so it is timed with software and is not modifiable. The 1999 and newer engines were all computer-controlled. Many V6 motors before 1994 were mechanically timed with a distributor, but I did own a 1993 with a computer-controlled setup. The distributor-based engines in those years are all timed according to the standard procedure.

If you replaced the flasher on your 1999 Mercury Cougar and your turn signals are still not working, you should check the turn signal fuse. This fuse is located under the dashboard on the driver's side of the vehicle to the left of the steering column.
