I bought a 1996 Ford Contour for $400 bucks. It's a 2.5 v6 with 206,000 kms that won't keep its charge The fuse for the alternator (big fuse) keeps burning up. Do you have an answer for this? The rest of the car is immaculate. Got it so cheap cause of the charging problem.

You'll need to make sure the alternator is wired correctly, then if it is, check for a grounded power wire..also check the body grounds.
