Heater quit blower not turning on

It is probably the blower itself. If the fuse and relay are good, I would say it is.

If you aren't getting any airflow out of the heater, your blower motor had a sticky bearing and overheated until it blew its thermal fuse, the motor resistor burned out, or something fried in the heater-A/C controller.

I've never looked under the hood of a Contour, but many cars have the blower motor mounted on the engine side of the firewall, and some of these have the connector out there also. Otherwise, you'll have to crawl under the dash. Once you find the blower connector, you can test the system before you buy parts. First, unplug the blower connector, then (with the car turned on and set so the heater could run if it was working) check the voltage* between the connector pins and ground (not the motor half of the connector!). If you get voltage (which pin has voltage will depend on fan speed settings), then check the motor and any resistors mounted with it. If you don't, look for a separate blower motor resistor, then check the control if necessary.

*Use a voltmeter (preferred) or a small 12 V lightbulb. The "screwdriver spark draw test" used by some amateurs is potentially hazardous and destructive, especially if there are solid-state controllers in the circuit.

given the cars age it might not work with out service all i could guess is a fuse

have you checked all the fuses or if they are ok try checking the relays under the bonnet hope this helps regards Jim

I have a 1998 Ford Contour. Believe it or not the ABS and the Blower Motor share the same fuse. It's a yellow 60 amp and you have to take off the battery to get at it. Of course this happened twice in the 6 years I had the car, both times in the dead of winter. Tires Plus in Pennsauken, NJ replaced it. Other than that, no complaints with my Contour.

with the key on and engine running , brake pedal must be depressed to come out of park , assuming you are pushing the brake pedal and it won't come out of park , try turning the car off , bearly turn the key but not all the way to the run position , and see if it will come out now , that will tell us if the safety device is malfunctioning .

Fuse #23 controls the turn signals, heater blower, reverse lamps, and the shift lever solenoid. There is a hole in the right side of the console where you can poke around with a ball point pen and unlock the shift lever. The fuse is located in a panel behind the glove box. I took my car to a dealer and had them change the fuse, but the ball point pen trick will save you a tow job.

You remove the heater blower by removing the bottom cover of the Glove Compartment. Then you will see The heater blower housing. Then you will see like a black clip you need to lift. Then You simply turn clockwise and bingo its off. To install just do the same thing except in reverse mode. Good Luck!!

NEED TO KNOW WHERE TURN SIGNAL FUSE IS LOCATED.

Yes,

there is 1 relay to work it properly,

so you ahve to check it with your regular multimeter,

this way you can do you solution ,
