But, the turn signals and hazard lights wouldn't work. So, found a blown fuse in the power distribution box which made the hazard lights come on, but it immediately blew again, also blew the brake light fuses again, and the car wouldn't go into gear again. Replaced the brake light fuses again, but the car still won't go into gear, and still no turn signals or hazard lights. Help? |
Having a similar problem with a 98 Contour GL 2.0 automatic. Stuck in park and heater would not work. After a while of fiddleing around the heater started to work and the shift lever was not stuck anymore. A little later the heater quit and the turn signals would not work. After a half an hour in the driveway I looked it over and could not find anything that did not work and it would shift
