The Ranger XL came with rear ABS as standard , I don't know if 4 wheel ABS was available as an option on the 1996 XL ( it was as an option on the 1999 XL) One thing I noticed , is in your fuse panel on the driver's end of the dash (cover is visible with the driver's door open) if the # 14 fuse is a 20 amp - you have rear ABS only and if the fuse is a 10 amp - that is for a four wheel ABS equipped Ranger. ( you would think that 4WABS would have the larger fuse , but it's 10 amp )

No. The Contour is a front-wheel drive car, and the Ranger is rear wheel drive.
Yes.
Check the pistons inside the calipers, usually they are the reason brakes lock up.
