98 Contour charging problem
So I took the alternator in to get it tested, and it tested good, and I have a brand new battery in this car, and it just will not charge. What should I be looking at now to troubleshoot this problem? The car has the 2.0L engine in it, just in case that makes a difference.

Some Contours had problems with the alternator and charging system that left a 175 amp mega fuse open and therefore the charge could not get to the battery as designed.
Check that fuse and make sure it is not open. |
That would be wonderfully simple, I will check on that immediately and post back again if it fixes it. Thank you.

I am not seeing anything 175 amp, biggest I see here is 80 amp
|
I just found it, wasnt initially where I thought it would be, thanks again!
|
Where did you find it?
|
I just followed the big wires to this little black box that I had to pry the top off of and the fuse was under there. For some reason I just totally discounted that box as being anything important when I was looking before. Almost impossible to miss when you follow the big wires.
|
Can you tell if this was the problem, the big fuse?
|
Yes - replaced it and poof problem solved
