There are 2 flashers for this car. 1 is for the hazard lights, located at the fuse panel. the other is located by the steering column up by the fire wall This is for the turn signals.
It is not the flasher if the hazards work, it is 1 flasher for both turn signals and the hazard lamps. It is in a relay block ( along with the blower motor relay ) under the dash, about in line with the steering wheel column ).
Try tilting the steering wheel all the way up, and test again.
The other quick test is to cycle the hazard switch a few times, to see if it cleans the contacts for the turn signal on the MFS,
The Turn Signal/Hazzard Flasher its located on top of steering column. You have to remove the steering column cover and
the flasher relay is located underneath the turn signal. To install it
is fairly easy but it doesn't tell you where it is located anywhere in
the manual. It took awhile to figure it out.

Hope this helps (remember rated this help). Good luck.
Check turn signal fuse, if fuse is good, check turn signal flasher, this is identical to hazard flasher, I believe on the 1997 it is located under the dash near the center console. The turn signal and hazard flashers are the same part number so try switching places with them and see if the turn signals work. If turn signals work after switching them you need a flasher.
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
