Possibly the new thermostat is bad...........don't laugh it can happen. I'm not sure if you could have installed it upside down. Sometimes that is possible but I am not familiar with your specific engine application.

Where is thermostat located on 2002 Mercury cougar?

In a 2002 Mercury Cougar, the thermostat is located on the engine, specifically at the engine's front, near the water pump. To access it, you typically need to remove the upper radiator hose, as the thermostat is housed in a thermostat housing that connects to the engine block.
