I went out to read the fault codes in my '95 Contour yesterday and found something that stopped me:
First: for the KOEO (Key on engine off) test to retreive stored codes should I warm up the engine first?
2nd: I'm not sure which terminal to use for the jumper from the signal return unit under the hood. That's the triangle shaped block with 6 terminals or pins.
The website shows to use the upper RIGHT pin which is #2 for the jumper. But on my signal return unit (it has the same triangle shape with 6 terminals or pins) the #2 terminal is marked as the upper LEFT pin. So do I go by the number #2 on mine (upper LEFT pin) or follow the books and website and use the upper RIGHT pin.
You'd think they'd all be the same, but then the window on my 89 Tempo cranks one way to roll down and the 95 Contour turns the opposite way.
