How much show? If it's not too deep, I'd use a towel wrapped around a broom and brush it off that way.

Testimonial: "I'll try that. Here in Chicago last year it was a monster-storm and maybe that's one reason why I ended up with a few scratches. I buff those out now but this year it snowed early... ! So I'm preparing for this. My car is literally almost 100% mint condition and I take very good care of it too, inside, out and under the hood. Thank you for your suggestion, I'll try this. :)"

Depending on how heavy the snow is, I have (believe it or not) used a LEAF BLOWER on my pristine Corvette. If the snow is too heavy, wait until spring...

SOURCE: Turn signal stopped working 1990 Mercury Cougar

I had the same problem and the flasher is not located in the fuse box because it is not a normal flasher. the cougar has an electronic flasher unit that is located on the left side of the center console. the best and cheapest place to order a new one is amazon.com. they run about $30-$40

I own a 1990 Mercury Cougar Bostonian... what is the correct size battery recharger for this car? Schumacher is the best brand I think. Thank you in advance.

Most chargers have settings for different size and type of batteries and also have regulators to prevent overcharging. Don't buy the very cheapest, but the $60 (approx) units are good choices for most hobbiest uses.

I am having trouble with my 1990 Mercury Cougar window. The power window was running and would not go down so I forced it down half way. The motor is running but nothing is moving... Since I pushed it down...

You'll have to replace the regulator/motor assembly with a new one if the mechanism was damaged, which sounds like it was. Plastic parts break on these systems. If it is snowing and you don't have the resources to replace it right now, try to tape some plastic over the window using duct tape. But, this is only a temporary solution.
