There are several reasons why a 1998 Ford Contour will not start. The car may not start if the battery is dead, the starter may need replaced, or the head gaskets are blown.
You may have a weak or dead battery.
Mine uses a regular 12-volt car battery
no
screwdriver
If you disconnect the battery cable the engine will not start and no electronics will work. So I guess you could call it disarming the car.
No, 1997 only fits 1997. Go to car-part.com.
If alternator and battery test fine- then you may have a bad fusable link not allowing the alternator to charge the battery
No. The Contour is a front-wheel drive car, and the Ranger is rear wheel drive.
the VPWR terminal is the main power source coming out from the battery. V=Vehicle, PWR= POWER. in simple words, the VPWR is the POSITIVE (+) terminal coming from the battery in the car.:} your welcome.
it is happened to to my car and I replaced the transmission range sensor. it is located on the top of the transmission at the left side of the battery. good luck
