If you have the wiring diagram, make sure the turn signal lever isn't shorting out to ground (I believe they brake/make ground) and completing the turn signal circuit. Never done it on a Contour, but had pleanty of time trouble shooting and swapping out bad stalks while doing cruise controls for other cars.
