Here are the instructions:

    • Gently remove the door panel of your Contour, ensuring that you don't break the three door clips that hold it on. As you pull the panel from the door, support the panel from below. This will ensure that none of the wiring inside the door is damaged. Release the wiring from the components inside the door, including the power window mechanism, power lock mechanism (if equipped) and the stereo speaker. Place the door panel in a safe area with the clips so they are accessible when you are ready to replace them.
    • 2Remove the window glass by sliding it up and out of the door. Support the glass from the bottom so it doesn't drop and break. Window glass for a Contour can cost around $150 to replace. After you remove the glass, put it in a safe place. You may want to wrap it in old towels or blankets to protect it until you are ready to reinstall it.
    • 3
    • Unplug the wires from your Contour's window motor, and remove the screws from the window motor and regulator. Remove the power window motor and regulator from your Contour to make way for the new parts.
    • 4Install the new window regulator into the door, and replace the screws that held them in place.
    • 5Replace the window glass into the door, and connect it to your Contour's power window motor and regulator assembly.
    • 6Replace the door panel. Reconnect the wiring for the power window and power lock controls, and replace each clip that connects the panel to the door.

SOURCE: 1993 Mercury Cougar power window, driver side, will not move

the power window motor needs replacing. check at a salvage yard for a door intact and remove the panel use a hammer and chisel to remove the large rivets that hold the motor in place and cut enough wire so you can test it with a battery before installing in your car to install in your car you will need some small nuts and bolts with lock washers and put a little lock tight on the bolts so they don't come loose Good Luck!

SOURCE: 2002 Mercury Moutaineer-- Power window problem

Go through your fuse box and check for any burned out fuses also they may take a relay which may also be out. You can pick up a HAYNES or other brand repair manual at any auto parts store. Auto Zone sells mainly Haynes books, they will guide you to your repair in a step by step repair. The books are kind of like "repairs for idiots" they are really detailed and easy to follow.

SOURCE: Drivers side window operates Intermittent.

My Cougar is a 99, but the relay on it is between the window motor and the mirror. Held on by 2 screws. It should click when you press the window button. When you take the foam off the door you can see it.

1996 Mystique- suddenly the power window on the driver's side won't close or move, it makes a sound like it's trying to do something when I press the button but no movement.
it really sounds like you will need a new window regulator. for your vehicle there are a couple options, your local salvage yard or on line auto parts warehouse (I use autopartswarehouse.com) you can search and order this and any additional parts you will need for your car. you will need to remove the door panel, normally a few screws and pry off the panel with some type of flat blade screw driver or pry bar. remove the plastic lining very carefully (if it is still on the door), the window will need to be taken out of the door, normally secured to the base by two screws or bolts or retaining clips. the window tracks normally have an upper and lower bolt securing them to the door, remove these, lastly the window regulator has three or four bolts, remove those and remove the old regulator and replace and re assemble as you have taken apart, look for about three to four hours, Good luck!

POwer windows won't work
The drivers side relay is in the door, left of the speaker. I took my whole door apart because the window would go down but not back up. All I would hear is a clicking noise coming form the relay. Do you have the same problem?
