1968 Mercury Cougar Turn Signal, Hazard & Brake Light Wiring Diagram (Fig. 42)
Ford Group 19 Fig 42 wiring schematic for Cougar turn signals, emergency warning flasher and brake lights; includes wire color code table and circuit numbers (449, 475, 57, etc.).
This is page 19-58 from a factory service manual schematics section (Group 19 — Schematics), showing FIG. 42 — Turn Signals, Emergency Warning and Brake Lights — Cougar (drawing reference K 2257 A1). The schematic diagrams the complete turn signal, emergency (hazard) warning flasher, and brake light circuits for the Cougar. Key components shown include the right- and left-hand turn signal lamps with 14290 wiring assemblies grounded on the alternator (26 circuit), 14401 wiring assemblies, the turn signal switch (7200 assembly), left and right turn signal indicator lamps (10B942 assembly), the brake lamp switch fed through a 15 amp fuse from the ignition switch accessory terminal (circuit 8A/8), the emergency warning flasher switch, and the turn signal indicator relay. A wiring color code legend cross-references circuit numbers (2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 44, 57C, 385, 436-447, 458, 459, etc.) to wire colors such as white-blue stripe, green-white stripe, orange-black stripe, blue, black, violet, green, and brown. Readers can trace individual circuit numbers (e.g., 44, 49, 50, 385, 440, 441, 448, 449, 458, 475, 511, 514) through connectors and switches to diagnose turn signal, hazard flasher, and brake light problems.

Frequently asked questions
- What fuse protects the brake lamp switch circuit on the Cougar?
- The diagram shows a 15 amp fuse on circuit 8/8A, fed from the ignition switch accessory terminal, ahead of the brake lamp switch.
- Where do the turn signal lamps ground on this Cougar schematic?
- Both the right-hand and left-hand turn signal lamps (14290 assemblies) are shown going to ground on the alternator via the 26 circuit.
- What wire color is circuit 44 in this diagram?
- Per the wiring color code, circuit 44 (also 514/514A) is blue; circuit 57/57C is black.
- What assembly number is the turn signal switch?
- The turn signal switch is shown as the 7200 assembly.
- Which circuits connect to the emergency warning flasher switch?
- The emergency warning flasher switch connects circuits 3, 44, 385, 511, and 511B in the schematic.
