I recently got a trouble code for a lean condition on Bank 2. My EVTM says bank 2 is the front of the engine. Mechanic at the local Ford dealer says the same. The Ford service manual says Bank 2 is the rear one.
Who's correct?

Bank 2 is Front, Bank 1 is Rear (Againt the fire wall).
Bank one contains cylinders 1,2,3. Bank 2 contains cylinders 4,5,6.

Thanks! I'd much rather change an O2 at the front than the PITA back.

If the code applies to the downstrean sensor, it's still a PITA.

Ford documentation is always referenced by either "Right" or "Left", not front or rear when discussing the "sides" or banks of engines.
The right and left sides are when viewed sitting in the drivers seat and with the engine pointing forward (belts/pulleys forward). Since transverse mounted engines are rotated 90 clockwise when viewed from overhead, that makes Bank 1 (Right side) the firewall side and Bank 2 (Left side) the radiator side. The front of the Contour engine faces the passenger side fender and the rear of the engine faces the driver's side fender. Simple, eh?
Drive the car up on a curb, then crawl under it. Do not get under a car that is up on its OEM jack.
