Electrical problem
1998 Ford Contour 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

I recently had to replace the engine in my contour, and currently my car will not start up. When I put the key in my ignition all the dash lights work, and all the accessories, however it won't roll over. I am fairly certain I have all the wires hooked up correctly. I have tested the ohms on the main electrical plug in and some of them read no resistance, some read the correct resistance, and some read infinite resistance. I have tested all the fuses and they are all good, however my main fuse for the car seems rather dark and cloudy, but I can't get the 80 amp fuse out.

It needs to come out to be checked. That could be the entire problem.

Let me know if you can get it.
