Hi,
Should have a diagram under the hood on the front cowl area, or inner fender well on belt side.
Can usually find one online, but you need to state if its a 4cyl or 6cyl., with or without A/C.....Mike

SOURCE: anti theft light won't go out

There are 2 things to try:
1) Use your key to manually unlock the driver's side door - sometimes this alone is enough to reset your security system.
2) Put your key in the ignition and turn to ON position (do not try to start the car, just turn to ON)- after 30 seconds, attempt to start the car and see if the security light goes out.

SOURCE: 99 mercury cougar anti theft light flashing no spark

if the security system is malfunctioning, it wont let the engine start as to avoid someone stealing it. have someone check the system or just deactivate the security cuz your car is useless unless it runs! security can take a back seat to the ability for it to move

Is there a kill switch on a 2002 mercury cougar manual transmission

Not unless yo had one installed with an alarm however, there is a neutral safety switch which will stop the engine from cranking if it either isn't connected, faults, or you try and Crank the vehicle without pressing the clutch in first. It's designed to keep you from cranking the motor while it is in gear. If you have an alarm installed and the engine will not crank or initially starts and then dies shortly after, try removing the in line fuse from the alarm power wire to deactivate the anti theft device that may have been installed in the ignition circuit.
