SOURCE: door ajar alarm won't quit

If you take a pair of Channel Lock pliers and slightly unscrew the post that the latch catches and move it laterally inward about a quarte inch(you can tell by the original placement mark) this should solve your problem. Thank you, Dana

SOURCE: 2001 mercury cougar steering wheel?

Don't listen to that guy!!!! you need to take the plastic cover behind the steering wheel. there are two bolts holding the air bag in t30 (torx) then the air bag falls right off. then the steering wheel is held in by a 15 mm head bolt.
Warning: make sure battery is disconnected for at least 30 min before you mess with the air bag connector

If it is an aftermarket alarm then you adjust the sensitivity it under the dash youll see a little square box turn to the right and you decrease sensitivity or left to increase lets say a feather fall on it and the alwrm goes off. Now if it is factory alarm they have the access for it and they reprogram the alarm sensitivity.

New battery installed in 2002 mercury cougar, and the alarm goes off and the left and right blinkers flash.

It sounds like you have an aftermarket alarm system that has malfunction. Contact the manufacturer of the alarm for the reset procedure.

Try opening and shutting the hood,and the doors,and the trunk,and activate the alarm,and then disarm the alarm,if this does not work,then the alarm system will have to be replaced,the receiver.

2001 mercury cougar can't get car to start alarm light lit and steady what do I do

sounds like your alarm is preventing the car from starting.

you can disconnect your negative battery cable, and wait about 10 minutes. put the key in the ignition and turn it to the ON position, but NOT to the START position. reconnet the battery cable CAREFULLY with the key ON, and the driver's side door OPEN. your alarm should "chirp" a few times, while reconnecting the battery. afterwards, try to start the car when the battery is tightly connected.

if the car still refuses to start, use the "panic" feature on your remote, to intentionally set off your alarm, and then turn it back off, to make sure it stops properly.

if this does not work, remove the fuse for your alarm, and try to start the car again without the fuse in place.....otherwise replace the fise and remove the pwoer connector from your alarm.

your actual alarm should be behind the trim plate, on the bottom side of your dash, above your gas and brake pedals....then try to start the car AGAIN....

if none of this works, then your alarm is defective and needs to be serviced be the installer, or manufacturer. also, calling the manufacturer will help too, as they have "reset and disable" features that can literally "bypass" your alarm.

2000 Mercury Cougar Power door locks do not work on either door

Power door locks are on the same fuse as the alarm system. The fuse is located in the passenger compartment fuse panel under the steering wheel. There is a pull down lever that will release the fuse box. The fuse for the alarm system/locking system is #25. Yellow color and a 20 ampere rating.
