It may get stuck like yours or still move, same problem. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" -George Santayana

I just did it to my 98 on thursday it took 15 minutes so you can probably wait while they do it. 1998 contour V6 ATX Black 1998 Contour V6 se ATX Black Bassanni w/o resinators, modified intake box, DMD New headlights w/ silverstar 9005's, blue neons inside, metal waterpump, pioneer head, pioneer 5x7 3 ways,2 10" subs, 800w amp, 17x7.5 motegi mr12 p215/45/17

As for your 00s44, its nothing more than a set of circuit breakers to keep from burning up the fan if it seizes. It only applies to one type of fan, and the dealer will have toinspect it. About your wiring, you may qualify for recall 99mo7 (i think thats it) it gives you coverage for your underhood wiring harnesses. Check at the dealer.

I don't see it anywhere on this website : http://www.alldata.com/TSB/19/95194180.html as to the 99m03 (almost right ) i see it under 'general recalls' so i guess im not covered . noone answered the question whether or not the 00s44 has anything to do with wires under fuse box...?

I have a 1997 Contour LX V6 2.5L. I brought it into Ford and they fixed it for free! It was part of the recall. The control switch and the wire harness was melted. The fan resistor was fine though...so they didn't change that. HE-MAN My Big Black Mamma!
