How do you replace a turn signal light bulb on a 2001 Mercury Cougar?

Answer 1

I have a 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis and my mother has a 2003 and they both are the same, so yours probably is also. After you pull the trunk lining away so that you can see the metal, there are 3 large black plastic wing nuts that you unscrew. Once you remove those, the tail light section will come out from the front and then you can get to the bulbs to replace them.

Answer 2

open your trunk and on both sides there is a cover with plastic screws take a Philips screw driver and undo the screws and remove the cover, behind that there is a metal plate cover that you can see holes in, take a socket wrench and find a socket that fits that bolt undo all of them and then the lense should wiggle out

Answer 3

The bulb is replaced from the engine compartment. The driver side is much easier to replace than the passenger side because you can pull the battery out.

Once you have access to the area the headlight wire harness releases from the headlight assemble by lifting the plastic hook that latches to a nob on the light bulb assembly. Since it's plastic it can break very easily.

Once you have released the headlight wire assembly the bulb is held in by a plastic collar that turns counter clockwise about 1/4 to 1/2 turn. It is difficult to get a good grip on this piece and that is the hardest part of the job.

When the collar is off the headlight bulb just pulls straight out.

You then reverse the process to put the new bulb in.
