Under the hood on the passenger side you'll see the PCM. Its far back towards the windshield next to the hood's hinge. You'll see a lot of wires going into a couple of harnesses that plug into it. Theres 2 10mm bolts that hold it in. Remove the 2 7mm bolts holding the harnesses in and set the harnesses aside. Then remove the 2 10mm bolts holding the PCM secure. Now you can turn the PCM sideways so that the part where the wires went is now facing the passenger fender. The PCM will now lift right out with ease. You could leave the harnesses attached but it causes you to have to struggle to get the PCM out of its cubby hole. You'll now see a rubber grommet in the firewall. You can fish your wire thru here. Now inside the car, go to the passenger side kickpanel, up behind the glovebox you'll find your wire. Its usually easier to remove the kick panel to find the wire.

It blinks the tail lights in sequence pointing in the direction of the turn. It works just like the tail lights on the old Cougars used to do. I got the kit from Blink Blink.

Did it myself. Only took about an hour. I forget how much it was. It's been a couple of years ago now.
