The hazard flasher on a 2000 Mercury Cougar is located under the dash on the driver's side of the vehicle. It is in the slot next to the turn signal flasher above the brake pedal.
Turn signal flasher?
On the left side of the steering column there is a light black tab that you pull down.
check beyond the top of the steering wheel. between the steering wheel and the indicators, you should see the button to turn on the hazard lights..
The turn and hazard flasher relays are incorporated into hazard switch.
the flasher is located under the dash down near the ash tray
It is bolted just above the emergency brake pedal behind the far left side of the dash. It might be easiest to remove the panel under the steering wheel. Turn on the hazard flashers to help you pinpoint the module. ~Mike Steinbach
It is located underneath the hazard switch, as it is incorporated with the hazard switch.

Most likely it is the signal/hazard flasher. Where it is located is something I am looking for I recently replaced my turn signal/flasher on my 99 cougar. If you remove the lower part of the steering column and behind the turn signal you will see a black box type fuse. This is the flasher. Just unplug and plug in new flasher. 4 cylinder clld for a 3 prong flasher. I saved over $100 in not having to replace the whole turn signal stick or switch. Check this part first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
