MORE THAN LIKELY THE GAUGE HAS GONE BAD OR DISCONNECTED SOMEHOW. YOU CAN ALSO CHECK THE FUSES UNDER THE HOOD AND ALSO THE ONES INSIDE THE CAR. BUT ON MOST CARS, MOST OF THE THEM USE THE SAME FUSE FOR SEVERAL OTHER GAUGES SO SOME OF YOUR OTHER GAUGES WOULD NOT BE WORKING ALSO. CHECK FUSES BEFORE BUYING A NEW FUEL GAUGE. ALWAYS CHECK THE SIMPLE THINGS FIRST TO SAY TIME AND MONEY. ALSO DO RESEARCH ABOUT IT. YOU CAN FIND ALOT OF GOOD AUTO REPAIR SITES. I HOPE IT HELPS AND GOOD LUCK. JEAN
Since you had to unplug the wire connector, there is most likely damage to the connector. Check it carefully.
Is there a gauge panel dimmer wheel switch ? Try rotating it , it may be rotated all the way in one direction
116.1 inches of mercury.
There are a couple of types. By far the most common is the aneroid barometer. The heart of an aneroid barometer is a sealed can. As the surrounding pressure rises and falls, the can shrinks and expands. A mechanical linkage translates the deflection into the movement of a dial. It could also be measured with a strain gauge, with the resistance translated into pressure.The Mercury barometer has a tube sealed at the top, full of mercury sitting in a cup full of mercury. A vacuum forms at the top because the exterior pressure can only support a column equal to the height times the density of mercury.Air pressure pushes on the mercury inside of the container, the mercury moves up the glass tube. The greater the air pressure the higher the mercury will rise.
Your air conditioning system holds approximately 5 pounds of Freon. Most recharge kits come with a gauge that will tell you exactly how much Freon to put into the system.
There is a battery light above the engine temperature gauge
On a 2000 Mercury Cougar : The warning light that looks like a can with an X through it , located between the engine coolant temperature gauge and the tachometer ( at the bottom of the gauge cluster ) is your ( LOW engine cooling system warning light )
On a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer : The " CHECK ENGINE " warning light is just to the left of the battery voltage gauge

You most definately unpluged the sensor wire. It's a single red wired that plugs onto a sensor just passed the thermostat.
On a 2000 Mercury Cougar : The OIL PRESSURE warning light is located on the right side of your gauge cluster just above the red " BRAKE " warning light It looks like an oil can Just before you start the car , when the ignition key is turned to the RUN position , the light should light up for a few seconds to prove that the bulb works
On a ( 1996 ) Mercury Tracer , the " check engine " warning light is at theBOTTOM of your instrument panel under the right hand side of the fuel gauge ( under the " F " )
Over temperature warning.
no water
fuel gauge not working and power windows and radio.2004 mercury mountaineer.
Cluster means all the gauges and warning lights on a vehicle i.e. fuel gauge,temp gauge speedometer, odometer, oil pressure warning lights etc.
