Ford Cougar 1999-2002 has a main passenger-compartment fuse panel and an engine-compartment power-distribution box. During the 1999 model year the under-hood box changed, so two different 1999 layouts exist.
The Cougar is closely related to the Mercury Cougar 1999-2002. For a 1999 car, identify the physical under-hood box before selecting the table.
