If you have vibration when you use the brakes, the most likely cause will be warped or excessively worn rotors, usually on the front wheels. Unless you are familiar with working on brakes, it is best to take the car to a qualified mechanic for service or repair.
This may be caused by rust on the piston or the cylinder. When you put the brakes on the piston can freeze up then. I had it happen on a Toyota & that's all it was . Do not attempt to fix it unless you know what you are doing. From the BigTomato.
My 1999 is up to 303,000 and going strong.
maybe fuel injectors?
if the 1995 ford contour is not running (transmission or engine is bad )a good price for it is $ 75 and they have to come to you and pick up the car.
The 1999 Ford Contour OBD 2 port is under driver side dash next to kick panel
No If its electric its electric only
The ABS motor is pulsating which is applying and releasing the brakes to avoid wheel lock-up. This is normal.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY CONTOUR AND IT ENDED UP BEING THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE LEAKING DOWN INTO MY CYLINDER THEREFOR "FLOODING IT OUT"
Check the pistons inside the calipers, usually they are the reason brakes lock up.
Excessive engine vibration can because by and engine that needs to be tuned up. The vibration can also because by worn out motor mounts.
Scan for codes, some parts store do it free.
