What could cause the Horn and cruise not to work on a 2002 cougar?

Sounds like the clockspring. It is a spiral assembly of wires to allow all the electrical devices on the steering wheel to spin around. You'll need to start by turning the steering wheel so that the tires are pointing straight. Disconnect the airbag, and remove any and all airbag-related fuses. then remove the airbag, usually via two or four screws on the back of the steering wheel. always store an airbag facing upwards so if it accidentally discharges, it won't be catapulted into the air. It's a good idea to gound yourself first to prevent static electricity from discharging it. You should see the clockspring inside the wheel. if not, then you'll need a steering wheel puller and the clockspring is behind the wheel. When you replace the clockspring, DO NOT turn it. it should be set to center by the factory, and this is why we straightened the weels earlier. turning a clockspring more than it was designed to move will pull appart the wires and make it useless. So install the new part, reinstall the wheel if you removed it, and install the airbag. Reinstall the fuses and connect the battery. Start the car and make sure the airbag light is off. test horn and cruise.

If the airbag light is still on, but the horn and cruise works, then there is a problem somewhere else in the airbag system. an OBD II code reader can tell you where to look.

Where is the manuel transmission fill hole for a 1999 cougar?

I just did this about a month ago. Jack up the front end, just enough to comfortably reach under the front end to the transmission. Also it will move the fluid to the back, which might be a good thing if you are filling it.

The fill hole is located on the front of the lower transmission housing. You should see a bolt or an inverse square-drive plug. Remove this and use a fluid transfer pump to add or remove fluid as necessary

Where can you find information on how to replace the starter on a 1999 Mercury Cougar?

1999 cougar starter. Stand at the left front fender facing the car. DISCONNECT THE BATTERY.The starter is located below and to the right of the air cleaner. It is near the top of the engine at about the the two o'clock position. You need to remmove the air filter, box and bracket. On the automatic transmission model you need to remove the gear shift mechanism. That is a fairly large cable attached to the transaxle slightly to the right of the starter. It is held in by two bolts. Remove the two small nuts holding the "front facing you" of the starter to a bracket in front of the starter. Rremove the bracket. There are two fairly large bolts holding the starter to the engine. They are essentially verticle, not horizontal as you would expect. Remove the cables. (write down what cable goes where). Remove emmission and water hoses as necessary. You might want to remove the battery and it's retaining "plate". I did and it gave me more room to work. Good luck in wriggling the starter out. My daughter asked me why I held my tongue in a particular position. I told her that was the only way to get the starter out of her car. Also, it helps if you have small hands or can draft a kid with small hands to help. Do not use your daughter. She might break a nail. GOOD LUCK.
