Ford Contour Ford 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.

Default Ignition Switch fuse

My Ignition Switch fuse blows everytime I make a sharp left hand turn on a incline or decline only. Do anyone have any ideas where I can trace this problem.

Talking Hey

Hey buddy try to look in the fuse box under the hood and see if there is water in the base of the fuse box. Hope that would help.

Wow! That's thinking outside the box! Great idea!

Problems like this are next to impossible to answer without being there, my guess would be to look for something loose under the hood or dash, that could swing in a side to side motion, that may hit on a frayed wire.
