We have a 1999 Ford Contour. It has 2 problems I need help with. 1)The warning chime does not work when the headlights are left on or when the key is in the ignition. 2) The interior light does not come on when you open the door. You can switch it to on and it works but when you put it on "door" so it lights when the door opens it doesn't work. I have checked all the fuses and can't find any blown. Please help. My 17 year old daughter drives this car and has already left the headlights on(running down the battery). I am also very concerned for her safety since the interior light does not come on at night when she enters the car.

The door switch is bad. I don't know if your car has a button on the door post or the switch is inside the door on the outside door handle.
I have a Ford Ranger and the switch is inside the door panel on the outside handle. Failure of this switch is a common ford problem

Check motor mounts. Also, clean your IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE. It can cause a jump in drivetrain if dirty and affects fuel mileage and power. If you needed converters, then the IAC is probably why. When it is dirty, it makes the engine run too rich, and wears the insides of exhuast systems out prematurely. You may require a trans fluid change. E-mail me back for instructions on how to do this the best way!
