What a helpful place for all of us blessed to own these very tempermental vehicles Don't get me wrong...I LOVE my car, but apparently there's something wrong when you consider it "strange" when the CEL is off I decided it was time to join in. The only mod my car has is a new CD player ("Ford Quality Sound" my butt...I only have 2 working speakers, and the other two work when they want! Too cheap to get the wiring looked at again...). The quirkiest thing about the car: it didn't "bing" to let me know the lights were left on or the keys were in the ignition. I just had the car in this week, and it came back fixed!! Hopefully, Psymon (the car) won't come up with a new quirk anytime soon! Can't afford it! '96 Contour SE 86,* miles...well loved New tires, new fuel pump, new shift cable and shifter , broken cup holder...a typical Contour Check Engine light is OFF**

However the passenger doors are worse. When they open them the dome light usually wont come on. I have been meaning to clean those sensors for ever!

Yeah... though only the driver's plunger not popping out to turn the light on on the one... unless something has changed Regular cleaning and lubrication while working the button helps... when it starts sticking... time for another round.
