i just had this same damn problem and its soo friggin easy

the mega fuse is located under the intake manifold right behind the alternator it there are two positive wires bolted to it from the battery and the alternator first you have to take the lone rectangled plastic cover off then unbolt the two bolts and unclip it and pull it off once you have the actual fuse out shake it around it shouldnt make anynoise if it sounds like metal loose inside the fuse its blown

it is deffinatly a pain in the ass to get the fuse to unclip from its holder but once you do youll be happy to find out its a 5 doller fix now i just need to find a ride to the ford dealer to get the fuse $7 from the dealer i called autozone and advance and neither of them know there asshole from there elbow so just go to the dealer they knew right away what i was talking about

btw the megafuse is a 175A fuse

Re: help

Not to hijack, but the difference is you owned a contour. My experience with AZ and Advanced is they generally have no clue. I decided I wouldn't go back after I tried to buy brake pads at AZ and the drone at the counter told me I didn't have an SVT. I just go to NAPA now.
