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.

Locate the Inertia Fuel Pump Cut-off switch in the trunk ( I think ). Make sure it is electrically "closed". Push down to reset.

Try AutoZone.com for an on-line diagram.

You are only going to get voltage at the fuel pump for a second or two, when you turn the ignition switch to the "run" position and the engine is not running.
You need to have somebody crank the engine, (ignition in the "start" position) and than measure the voltage at the fuel pump, but check the inertia switch first, like Edoc suggested.

You probably have a fuel pump relay. Look in your power distribution box under the hood for it, or in your fuse panel.
