The dipstick has nothing to do with the low oil pressure light. It is just there to check the fluid level. The light will come on if low oil pressure is detected. Sometimes that is too late and damage will have already occured. Get a new dipstick asap. Try using a magnet to get the old one out. You can buy a magnet for this purpose at most auto parts stores. If you cannot get it out with a magnet, you will have to remove the oil pan.
I use pliers to pull mine but I still have a bit of the plastic still there, only the pull ring broke off
yes.. as long as the light still works you sould be fine
You order one from your Ford Dealer and pay $70, or you go to a junk yard and look for a junked Ford Contour. That shouldn't be hard, since mine should be junked, but I'm still driving it.

Take the old dispstick out (if you still have it), take the new dipstick out of the packaging, put the new dipstick where the old dipstick went....
Yes as it's still defective, best get it repaired.
You'll need to drain the oil pan, then remove it. Then take something and tap the old one out and install a new one. That is if you broke the tube. If just the dipstick is broken off, you'll still have to remove the oil pan and pull the old one out through the bottom of the tube. You will be able to see the end of it without the pan on.
More than likely, the stop pad has fallen or broken off.
I have a 96 that did the same, It was the plug on the turn signal It would not get a good connection and I would lose my L &R rear break light but the center one in the rear window would still work
Dirty contacts (if fitted) on the hatchback door. A broken door switch or broken door switch wire.
I don't have a Contour, but if it has a distributor, then you use a timing light and simply twist the distributor cap to change the timing. If it has coil packs, then it's all done electronically, and you can't adjust it. If your timing is still off, you have a sensor somewhere feeding the ECU bad info. ====================================================== All of the Contour engines' ignition timing is controlled by the computer, and is not adjustable. If there were any sort of problem in this area, the computer would turn on the "Check Engine" light and store an error code.
No. The lens diffuses the light and a bare bulb is not legal
