To find the correct fuse:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best source of information. It will have a fuse panel diagram showing the location and amperage of each fuse.
2. Locate the fuse box(es): The 1998 Ford Contour typically has one fuse box under the hood and another inside the car, often under the dashboard on the driver's side.
3. Check the fuse panel diagram: Once you find the fuse box diagram (in your owner's manual or sometimes on the inside of the fuse box cover), look for the fuse labeled "cigarette lighter," "power outlet," or something similar. The diagram will show the fuse's amperage rating.
If you can't find it in the manual or the fuse box, a qualified mechanic or auto parts store should be able to help. Providing them with the year, make, and model of your car will aid them in pinpointing the correct fuse.
