Question:

Does anyone know where the fuse panel is on a Ford Cougar 1998-2002?

I needs to locate it in order to change the fuse to work the heated seats and i am having a hard time locating it. I have read the user manual by the way and its very unclear to where it actually is!

Answer:

This was not the case on my 99 Couger. Fords Hidden central fusebox and this is applicable to many models and not just the Couger. After much googling I located the whereabouts of the Central fuse box,its not easy even when you know where its supposed to be? I posted this on another forum The central fuse box is located under the glove box,you need to take down the foot well trim.Its not easy to see use a torch there is a small button which you pull to lower the fusebox then you can pull the fusebox towards you to access the fuses.There seems to be lots of people with this problem and seems to be a stupid place to hide a fusebox and seems designed to drag you into a main dealer for a petty fault.My own fault was a central locking boot release problem a simple case of replacing the 20 amp fuse and freeing off the boot release key barrel with WD 40 at least ?200 @ your friendly dealer.

The fuse panel is located to the left of the steering column underneath the dash. You may have to remove a trim panel at the bottom of the dashboard to access it. Additionally, there is another fuse panel inside the engine compartment on the fender well, right beside the battery. It will look like a black rectangular box. It says fuses on it, but may be difficult to read if you have not cleaned your engine bay recently. the heated seat fuse will be in the one under the dashboard. Once you replace it though, you will have to figure out why the fuse blew in the first place. Never replace a fuse with a bigger one or jump the fuse with wire. You could burn up other car components, or melt some wires or even set the car on fire.
