you mean the main battery cables comming from the battery are fusing together. Or are they other wires not associated with the batttery? When you say fusing together, do mean the insulation is fusing together, or the actual metal conductor in the wires is fusing together?
are these cables the positive (red) or the negative (black) wires?
I know that on some model years of Contours there is a recall for a replacement of some of the underhood wiring harness. I suggest you try to deterimine if this recall applies to your car.
If the wire insulation is melting and fusing together, this sounds like a serious problem because the melting insulation can expose bare wire and casue a major short and lead to a car fire.
