Re: battery wont hold charge

There is a 175 amp mega fuse located on the engine.
If you remove the plastic air cover from the intake and look down behind the center of the intake there is a rectangle box about 1 inch by 3 inch. The cover snaps off and located inside is the fuse. Remove the two nuts to take the fuse out. The problem I was having was the battery light was glowing dim to bright depending on engine speed and the battery was not charging.
I replaced the fuse and everything seems to be working fine now. It is a lot cheaper than a new battery or alternator. The car was a 1997 Contour with a 2.0 zetec engine.
