Ford Contour

On a 1998 Ford Contour, the headlight high beam relay is typically located in the fuse box under the hood. To find it, open the hood and look for the fuse box, which is usually near the battery. Inside the fuse box, you should see a diagram that indicates the location of the high beam relay. If you're unable to locate it, consult the vehicle's owner manual for more detailed information.

The timing specifications for a 1999 Ford Contour with a 2.0L DOHC engine typically involve a timing belt replacement interval of about 100,000 miles. The correct alignment for the timing marks should be set to TDC (Top Dead Center) on the crankshaft for proper timing. The camshaft timing should be aligned with the timing marks on the camshaft sprockets and the cylinder head. Always refer to a service manual for the most accurate and specific procedures for your vehicle.

On a 2000 Ford Contour, the ignition module is typically located near the ignition coil, which is mounted on the engine. You can find it on the driver's side of the engine compartment, often attached to the engine block or in close proximity to the coil packs. To access it, you may need to remove any covers or components obstructing your view. Always consult the vehicle’s service manual for specific details and diagrams.

For a 1999 Ford Contour, the front wheel bearing torque settings typically range from 30 to 50 foot-pounds (ft-lbs) when installing the hub nut. It's important to consult the vehicle's service manual for the exact specifications and to follow the proper torque sequence to ensure proper installation. Always use a calibrated torque wrench for accuracy.

If the cruise control on your 1990 Lexus ES 250 is not working, it’s possible that a blown fuse could be the cause. Check the vehicle's fuse box for any blown fuses related to the cruise control system. However, if the fuse is intact, the issue could also stem from other components, such as the cruise control switch, throttle cable, or vacuum actuator, which may require further diagnosis or repairs. Always consult the owner's manual for specific fuse locations and ratings.

On a 1999 Ford Contour, the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is typically located in the intake manifold, near the throttle body. It is often mounted in a plastic or metal housing and may be integrated with the mass air flow (MAF) sensor, depending on the engine configuration. To access it, you may need to remove the air intake duct or other components around the throttle body. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for specific locations and procedures.

The rear brake lines connect to the master brake cylinder at designated ports, typically located on the side or rear of the cylinder. In a typical brake system, there's often a specific port for the rear brakes, which allows hydraulic fluid to flow from the master cylinder to the rear brake components. The exact configuration can vary depending on the vehicle's make and model. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for precise details and diagrams.

If your Ford Contour is running rough, it could be due to several issues, such as a faulty spark plug, a clogged fuel injector, or a vacuum leak. Checking the spark plugs and ignition coils for wear or damage is a good first step. Additionally, inspect the fuel system for blockages and ensure the air intake system is functioning properly. If the problem persists, consider running a diagnostic test to identify any error codes that could point to the underlying issue.

If the battery light on your 1998 Ford Contour only comes on when you press the gas pedal, it may indicate a problem with the alternator or charging system. Pressing the gas pedal increases engine RPM, which should boost the alternator's output; if the light comes on during this time, it could suggest the alternator isn't generating enough power to charge the battery. Additionally, a loose or worn serpentine belt could be slipping under increased load, affecting the alternator's performance. It's advisable to have the charging system tested to diagnose and address the issue properly.

For a Ford Contour, a typical drain and refill of the automatic transmission usually requires about 4 to 6 quarts of fluid, depending on the specific model and year. It's always best to check the owner's manual for the exact specifications and recommended fluid type. Additionally, when performing a drain and refill, it's advisable to use the manufacturer-recommended transmission fluid to ensure optimal performance.

On the 1998 Ford Contour with a 2.5L V6 engine, the camshaft position sensor is located on the front of the engine, near the timing cover. It is typically positioned at the top of the engine, near the driver's side, and is secured with a couple of bolts. To access it, you may need to remove some components for better visibility and reach.

To replace the batteries in your Contour Ab Belt, you will need to locate the battery compartment, typically located on the back of the belt. Open the compartment by either sliding it open or using a screwdriver to remove the cover. Remove the old batteries and replace them with new ones, ensuring they are inserted in the correct orientation as indicated by the markings inside the compartment. Close the compartment securely, and your Contour Ab Belt should now be ready for use with the new batteries.

To replace the power steering rack on a 1998 Ford Contour SVT, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the front wheels. Disconnect the steering column from the rack, and remove any necessary components like the tie rods and hoses. Unbolt the rack from the subframe, then carefully remove it from the vehicle. Install the new rack by reversing the removal process, ensuring all connections are secure and the system is properly filled with power steering fluid before testing.

If it's a V6 Contour, then you should be able to haul the tank as far as the gas in your gas tank will carry you, about 275-350 mile. The problem is that in most states, it is illegal to transport compressed fuel tanks inside an automobile, now, not many people follow this law, but it had to be said.

As to the obvious question of how long can a Ford Contour run on a tank of propane, using the propane as the fuel, this depends on many variables. Such as;

Engine style (I4 vs V6)

Transmission (Auto vs Manual)

Terrain

Tank size (how many cubic feet.)

How long if at will the engine last running a fuel it was not meant to burn.

Without this info, and 3-6 months of engineering, you can't hope to get real numbers.

A contour outline is a drawing or design that represents the outer edge or shape of an object. It is typically a line drawing that highlights the contours and curves of the subject without including any detail or shading.

You dont need to replace the motor just fix it. Remove the door panel by taking out a couple of screws around the inside door handle, the bottom rear of the door and pull the panel up and out. Unplug the window, door lock and courtesy light plugs. You will find three bolts that hold the motor in place. Remove them and the motor will fall out. Now unplug the motor and it is ready to fix. There are a few people on eBay selling the bushings that go bad, buy one of these kits. Each motor gear assembly has three bushings, they are sacrificial and will rot over time, it they where not there damage to the motor gears could occur they protect against it. The bushings can be tricking to get in, but if you get all three of them diagonally in and push hard they will slide in. When putting the motor back in make sure the outer gear goes onto the crescent shaped large gear in the door, if not you will just be putting the motor outside the gear. Put the connectors and door panel back on and you have spend one hour and $9 (That's what I paid for the bushings on eBay)

The accessory wire may have become disconnected. 99% the accessory is the red wire next to the yellow wire.

There could be various reasons. The starter could be going out. The Alternator, the fuel pump. If it is a manuel car it could also be fuses behind the clutch

probably yes it started by 1990 in most vehicles for theft reasons

For a 1996 Contour, the answer is NO. A standard hardware store or locksmith key will work fine.

The fact of the matter is - according to the letter of the law you can be ticketed on the first day they expire. UNOFFICIALLY - most law enforcement and courts MIGHT allow you up to 2-3 weeks past expiration, and might let you off with a warning, but anything past that timeframe is pretty unlikely. Expired plates are EXPIRED!!!

Not necessarily, but continued driving may lead you there if it isn't fixed. It may be in the transmission control system that is causing the ill behavior. Pukenstein@aol.com

The fuel pump shut off switch ( inertia switch ) opens the circuit to the

electric fuel pump so that no power is going to the fuel pump when the

vehicle has received a substantial jolt ( collision or maybe hitting a bad

pot hole )

It is a safety device that has to be manually reset if the switch " trips "
