SOURCE: ford contour wont start battery charged lights working

If headlight do not come on, leave them on and start check ground and power.
If headlights do come on then locate the starter and fine something to tape on it, not too hard,
but before u can do this have someone set inside the car with the key turn in the start position...

SOURCE: 1997 ford contour turn signal problem

Check the left side of the vehicle for a blown bulb or incorrect bulb in one of the sockets. The fast flash is a signal to tell you something is wrong with that side

99 ford contour gauge shows running hot. Change both sensors near thermostat and the thermostat. Flushed system and burped it. Ac or heat makes no difference. Fans seems to be working. Any ideas?

Is it ACTUALLY overheating? Check for heat at the top and bottom radiator hoses, and at both heater core hoses. If one is cold then your radiator or your heater core may be plugged and in need of a individual flush.

I need the location of the o2 sensors on a 1997 ford contour gl 4-121 2.0 dohc

Ford contour has 4 O2 sensors, one under the coil pack between the engine and firewall (bank 1, sensor 1 and it's a pain to reach), one in front between the radiator and engine and two accessible from underneath.

Need instructions on how to replace radiator on a 6 cyl 1997 ford

Yes I've done it quite a few times....not fun. Take off mud guard underneath (Think they're T-25 tourqe bits). Then take off the 2 brackets They're supposed to be 8mm but sometimes you have to mushroom the bolt heads with a hammer and use a 7mm. Then you have to disconnect everything and unbolt the radiator from the condenser. Then take the radiator out by pulling it out the bottom and pushing the condenser up. Its been a couple years since I've done one but thats how i recall it. Ford made them very difficult. Good Luck ^_^
