Well this is by no means a one time problem. Three times now, my fan has completely stopped working on all speeds and any settings. This can get quite dangerous actually, with 2 or more pasengers on a rainy day, my visibilty is practically reduced to zero. Rolling down the windows and getting soaked was the only answer.

The last two times I took it in, I was told it was a blow fuse/relay. I'm getting pretty annoyed with this as it's the third time. If anyone has an idea to what is causing this, it would be greatly appreciated. Winter's on the horizon and defrost is a necessity. Thanks.

By "take it in" you mean to Ford? Try an independant shop.

NOTE that Ford has a recall on the blower resistor and switch for 1996 (along with other model years). You should be able to reference the recall. Here is the Alldata info for 1996 Contours...


1998 Black CSVT, 75k mi

there is a large feed wire from the interior fuse panel to the blower. it is red with two wires in it. They are bad about burning and not allowing the blower to work. Our dealer has been replacing/repairing this condition under the blower switch recall.

You know, I am a tech at a ford dealer, and I am sorry that you have come to mistrust ford. maybe you haven't found the right dealer.
