Welcome. I read in a previous post/thread that sometimes a new battery needs to be charged to be effective. And of course the obvious, make sure the clamps are tightened on the terminals and not missing any wires to the clamps. You have another Contour to compare.

Edit. Based on a previous post from ProjectSHO89, check the clutch inhibit and neutral position switches.

"PNP switch. It is located on the top of the tranny, roughly straight down from the intake tube.

clutch inhibit switch that is mounted on the clutch pedal support under the dash."
