Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting blower motor does not work

I have 97 contour lx v6 it has been in to ford for the blower motor fix.

I was using the a/c on high when I turned off the car

when I got back i the car the blower motor was not working; and it is still not working; check the 3 fuses for the blower motor and they seem to be ok.

could it be one of the 2 relay's? and how do I check them

thanks

Check real carefully. Is the blower blowing on low or not at all?

It's probably the wiring/resistor pack problem listed under "Common Problems"

While on the subject, I've had my 99 Contour SE into the local shop once for a blower motor and a resistor pack, (at first I only had high and low fan speeds available, but then the motor died and I got absolutely nothing.) that was about a year ago.

About two weeks ago the fan started operating at "Low" regardless of switch position.

The dealer claims that the warranty recalls listed on http://www.contour.org/FAQ/FAQ.php?s=probs&displayid=23 do not abbly to my car because it is a 1999. I say they are full of s**t.

to quote the repair bill, "Verify cust. concern. Perform pinpoint tests and and diag found bad blower switch. connector melted to switch. Replace blower switch and connector. Roadtest and retest. oOK at this time."

Do I have any recourse at this point other than calling the credit card company and disputing the charge?

tried to look under common problems; and found only blower moter stuck on high; my blower motor is not working at all; not even on low.

tried switching relays in the fuse panel with no change.

Welcome. There is a blower switch recall 01M07 10 years/150K miles whichever occurs first. You may want to check if yours is covered. And when did they do the blower motor? Could the repair be under warranty?

I have the wiring schematic if you need more help.

I have already replaced the fuse box about a year ago, for the A/C did not turn on at all. Now when on Max A/C setting, the fan doesnt get to the high speed even when the switch is on the high speed setting. Would this recall be applicable to me?

the car has been in for the fan switch recall; about 4 years ago


yes; a schematic would help


thanks.

I have a 1995 Contour SE. Might come out tomorrow, have some things to do, but location seems not to far away.

Yes a schematic would help

moved relays; rechecked fuses; checked risistor pack; checked fan speed switch all seem to be ok.

fan switch does not have any voltage with any setting on the HVAC control switch.

is there a vacuum switch that could have gone bad?
