* Your Owner's Manual: The most reliable source is your vehicle's owner's manual. It should have a detailed diagram showing the location of the fuse boxes (there might be more than one) and a legend identifying each fuse.
* Online Repair Manuals: Websites like Haynes.com or Chilton.com (subscription may be required) offer online repair manuals with detailed diagrams and information, including fuse box layouts. Search for "1996 Ford Contour repair manual."
* Ford's Website (Possibly): While Ford's website is primarily for new vehicles, you might find some information. Try searching their site for "1996 Ford Contour owner's manual" or similar. Success isn't guaranteed, however.
* Third-party Automotive Websites: Some websites specializing in automotive repair information might have the diagram available. A Google search for "1996 Ford Contour fuse box diagram" might turn up some helpful results. Be cautious about the reliability of the source.
Important Note: When working with fuses and electrical systems, always disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting any work to prevent short circuits and electrical shocks.
