And do the big 3 before anything else in my book.

NOT JUST the big 3 but that's a great start

k i was gonna say... so besides the grounds what can i do on the power supply end?

Trunk Battery + Big 3. I wish you the best of luck getting to your Alternator for that Big Three, this, coming from another Mercury Cougar owner. If you find a simple way to do it, plz share.

^^^they should be the same as a contour...i took my tire off and the wheel liner and it was really easy for me atleast to get to it to replace it one time haha i will admit though before someone told me that i went three hours trying to get to it haha
