I have a ford contour 98 and I left my lights on and killed the battery. I replaced the battery and now my car will turn over but not start. I have no spark to my fairly new spark plugs. I have the neg and pos hookups to the battery correct. The coil, and crank shaft censor has been replaced as well as my Brain box. I am stumped to no limit. Please someone help me.

SOURCE: 98 Ford Contour not charging

I dont know if yours is a 4 or 6 cyl. On the back of the motor by the firewall there is a 175 amp mega fuse inline on the positive cable comming from the battery. On the 4 cyl it is below the air box center of the back of the motor. On the 6 cyl, it is below the coil pack on the center back of the motor. Be sure to disconnect the negitave battery cable before you attempt this. There is a 3 inch long cover you pop off and you will see it. It takes a 10mm socket to unbolt it. Remove the fuse and ohm it out, if there is no continuity, you have a bad fuse, replace it. I have had 3 people replace their bats and alts ($350 in parts) just to find out it still had the problem. An $8 fuse. Good luck and hope this helps..

Hello you say no spark again well in the past i have replaced coils on Fords same day the coil pack quit!.So perhaps return it as a faulty pack.Manufactures still makeing defective parts!.Also if you have service engine light on you should have a OBD 2 scan to retreve any electrical faults might be.

You have an oxygen sensor code. This code by the way is not for a signal problem rather it is the heater part of the O2 sensor. Check fuse #13 to see if it is blown. This is a 30 amp fuse. If fuse is ok then put a meter on the two white wires on O2 sensor and check for 12V when the ignition is on. Your code is being tripped due to a heater malfunction and unless you determine if power exists you cannot go any further. Hope this helps

98 Contour, starter ticks like dead battery and wipers cycle a couple of times when I turn the key to start. Wiper switch is in the off position, battery is fully charged. I would think possible starter...

If you turn the key and you hear a click and the motor is not moving your starter is probably bad. Everything can work on your car and the starter can be bad all by itself.
Check and see if your wiper is inthe correct position,sometimes we accidently move it without knowing.

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...

Allternator works. battery has 12.6 volt charge. replaced started last weekend. my 98 contour still will not start. There is no clicking when trying to turn it over. Is there anything else that i can try?

Check your relays and starter fuses. These can be damaged by any work done to the car without disconnecting the battery first. especially starter work.
