Something in my wiring has burnt and shorted out wires in my car from trunk to under hood. Car is being repaired as I write and is going to be very expensive. This is a 1999 Ford Contour SE. A new wiring harness is being ordered and all wiring needs replacement. The car just stalled riding down road, had to have it towed. Have been without car for approx. 1 week now.
