Ford ContourFord Contour combines sporty driving dynamics with the comfort and practicality of a four-door sedan. It doesn't have the rear-seat space of a Taurus, but Ford improved rear legroom and revised the styling. Contour SVT pours on the coal with a higher output version of the Duratec V6, a sports suspension and bigger brakes.
I just finished replacing the timing belt on my 98 contour GL. While doing it I had to romove the starter motor to immobilize the fly wheel. I was not able to disconnect the electrical connector to the starter and I am now wondering if I streched the cable too much and if this could cause the alternator to not charge the battery. The engine runs great with the new belt but I cannot drive without lights. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. thanks fitzy67
