WHILE DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS OUR ALTERNATOR WIRE MELTED OFF AT THE CONNECTION TO THE ALTERNATOR. THE ALTERNATOR, THE WIRE AND A 175 AMP FUSE WERE ALL BAD. A REPLACEMENT ALTERNATOR COULD NOT BE FOUND IN LESS THAN 2 DAYS SO THE ORIGINAL ALTERNATOR WAS REBUILT. I HAVE IN MY POSSESION THE BLOWN 175 AMP FUSE AND THE MELTED ALTERNATOR WIRE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME AN ELECTRICAL WIRE HAS MELTED ON OUR 1998 CONTOUR. IT IS THE THIRD TIME WE HAVE BEEN STRANDED. FORD HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH THE CORRECTION BEING, REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND THE WIRE ON CONTOURS WITH THE 2.5L ENGINE. *AK
