Where Is the Fuel Pump Relay on a 1998 Contour?

The horn relay on your 1998 Ford Contour operates when you press the horn button--pressing the button causes two metal contacts to come together, "closing a circuit" and sending battery voltage to your horn. If you need to replace the relay, you need to find it first.

Power Distribution Box

The 1998 Contour's power distribution box is located under the hood on the left hand side toward the front of the car. See page 112 of your owner's manual for the exact location.

Removing the Cover

Remove the cover of the box by lifting the lever and pulling it up. See page 113 of your owner's manual for a diagram of the power distribution box.

Horn Relay Location

Your horn relay is in position number R7. See page 115 of your owner's manual for a key to all the relays in the box.
