Q: How to service the cabin air filter on Mercury Cougar?
A: Service of the cabin air filter requires users to disconnect the battery ground cable while placing the wiper motor into park mode. You can remove wiper arms through these steps: first lift plastic covers then loose the nuts before you lift wiper arms to leave them out of the taper position by moving them aside. Start by opening the hood before removing the cowl grille from the vehicle through the process of unfastening screw covers next removing bolts followed by extracting the weatherseal leading to disconnection of the cowl grille from its rear position. Afterward, remove the pollen filter. The installation process should start by doing the opposite of what was done for removal. The vehicle may display unusual drive behavior after battery disconnect and reconnect because it needs to relearn its adaptive strategy which may need at least 16 km (10 miles) of driving.
