1999 Ford Contour 2.5 6 cylinder. Stalled. Now it wont turn over

clean battery terminals and make battery fully charged .

Have the starter checked.

Sounds like starter motor given your slow to no turnover, I assume your new battery has full charge, if not, check with meter, it may be a defective battery, or another issue with connections, did you clean cable connections when you put in new battery? I assume your engine was running properly before battery change and is not partially seized due to overheating or low oil.

Good luck,

Clean the Battery, Charge your Battery and if it dies, then it is your ALTERNATOR if the Connections are CLEAN

Do all the lights...headlights, etc.....turn on and are bright like it has a fully charged battery? If so, try tapping on the starter with a small hammer or whatever. If the starter will now turn the engine over, it is time for a starter motor replacement. 11 year old starter might have given up by now.

I would have battery checked/charged and/or replaced. Then starter, then alternator checked.

It sounds like you have a fuseable link that has melted... Check down by the starter... There may be another connector and main power terminal in the left side of the engine compartment but remember when you look inside the engine compartment it will be on your right....

If you turn the key and you hear a click and the motor is not moving your starter is probably bad. Everything can work on your car and the starter can be bad all by itself.
Check and see if your wiper is inthe correct position,sometimes we accidently move it without knowing.

this is usually a sign of a bad starter when you turn the key and will not turn over but not sure why it died when stopping!

If headlight do not come on, leave them on and start check ground and power.
If headlights do come on then locate the starter and fine something to tape on it, not too hard,
but before u can do this have someone set inside the car with the key turn in the start position...
