The a/c blower is based upon the contour a/c system and the weakest link
always was and still has been that blower motor resistor... It's white
plastic on the passenger side under the dash, near the center right kick
panel attached to the a/c case itself with 4 wires going to it with one
bolt holding it in. My guess is the connector to it will have the
wires melted back a bit or the connector won't come off of the resistor
itself.
Fix is usually replace the resistor and install a connector kit from
Ford that was used in a recall for Contours that used a heavier gauge
wire at the end near the resistor itself.
I don't have the numbers handy, but a Ford parts department guy whos
been there a while will probably know what I'm talking about .
The switches were known to burn on some models also where it would melt
the connector and switch... Usually I replace the switch and connector
also in a pair with the resistor due to my dislike of Ford of Europe's
idea of undersizing critical wires.
If the resistor ain't burnt, you may want to pull and see if the connector on the switch ain't burnt.
