Electrical Tech / Another AC thread
Was following Rdog's thread

Mine quit working recently also. Was working great, now just blows hot air. I dont notice the compressor kick on, when I turn the switch.

Where/what are the above mentioned fuses and relays. I didnt see mention of them in the owners manual.

The compressor I can turn by hand.  I jumpered the pressure switch and nothing.  I checked the voltage at the compressor connector with the pressure switch jumped and had 13Volts.

Is there anything else I can check?  Does that mean the compressor is bad or is it the clutch?


 Edit, not sure, but I used my Ohm setting and checked the 2 connectors in the clutch switch and they didnt read open, this was with the car off.  Not sure if I did it right, or if it means anything ?????

Electrical Tech / Headlight/parklight problem-pulsating/surging intensity
I noticed today at work pulling in to park.  My lights (head,park,dash) flickering rapidly, this is very slight, but I am very conscious of things.  It is only in gear, and goes away when I shift to park.  Low RPM related, I have a used 3G installed.  What do I need to do fellas?:punchballs:

User Rides / Cleaned up the Cat
We are having a four-eyed get together this weekend.  I am taking the Cougar, so I cleaned it up and waxed it.  Just thought I'd share.

P.S.  no comments on the pony center caps, I have a eventual plan in the works.

Lounge / Mercury dieing - Already a thread above in the proper spot...go there
Guess Ford is axing Mercury again.  I wish they could have redone a Cougar and based it off the Mustang chassis and given it the 5.0 and gone out with a bang!!:burnout:

Found some pics.....scroll down

Lounge / Mercury on the way out.
Guess Ford is axing Mercury.  I think Merc should have gone out with a bang and made a 1 model year run of a Cougar.  Base it on the Mustang chassis and give it the new 5.0.  It could have been awesome.:burnout::burnout:

User Rides / Did a little rear bumper painting
I tried to paint my rear bumper today, mostly out of wanting to do something with the car.  I had already bought the SEM paint earlier.

After researching threads, the factory match was 39163 Med Smoke.  I put it on and it just looked too light.  Im sure it matched the factory, but I wanted it to be darker to match the side trim pieces better.  I bought some 39063 Gloss Black for some other trim on the car.  I decided to just spray it on after I wasnt likeing the first 2 coats. 

I took a few quick pics, Ill try and get some better ones later.  I wish I would have taken before pics.:punchballs:

You can see where the paint just didnt lay right on the passenger side spot, not sure what that was???  Anyway, it isnt perfect, but it is much better.
