The # C59496 hardwire kit is a universal application, so I have linked the installation instructions below, but they are not going to be specific to your 2006 Mercury Montego.

To install the hardwire kit on your vehicle, you would use the included circuit tester to test the wires behind your vehicle tail lights for function. I would have a friend sit at the wheel and press the brake pedal or engage the turn signals as you test each wire behind your tail light. Once you have determined which wire is performing which function, you would connect the wires from the converter accordingly.

The four basic wire functions for the wires coming from the black converter box would be:

Green: Right turn and brake lights.
Yellow: Left turn and brake lights.
Brown: Running lights.
White: Ground wire. Connect this wire to a good, clean metal area on your vehicle frame.
Red: If your vehicle uses the same wire for the brake lamps and the turn signals, you'll ground this wire along with the white wire. If your vehicle uses a separate wire to carry the brake lamps, tap the red wire into it.

You will also see a thicker red wire coming from the converter box. You would run this wire, using the included wire bundle, and connect it to the vehicle positive battery terminal, with the included yellow fuse holder in between.
