It is right on the shifter if you are looking under the shifter panel on the inside of the car. It is a long black cylinder piece. Look at some pictures of it on ebay.
When i pushed the the brake pedal it kept loudly clicking each time. My radio/clock/interior lighting fuse kept blowing each time every time i put one in. I unplugged the connector going to the shifter and it didnt blow. So i knew the problem was in that wiring. I went to the junkyard and found the soleniod and reaplaced it for about $6. Has been working good since.

Could be, Blown fuse, Bad blower motor, Bad blower motor speed resistor, Bad blower switch,

replace blower motor resistor. It is under the passenger side foot well.
Behind the glove box
The blower motor resistor is located on the passenger side under the glove box. Left side. there is a cover on the blower motor. remve the cover, this is the resistor. there is an electrical plug there.
Bad blower motor? Blown blower motor fuse? Bad fan switch? Bad blower resistor pack?
the contour has problems with the blower motor switch and the resistor. I would check the resistor connector for signs of melting.
Control switch on the dash needs to b replaced perhaps?
Bad blower resistor. I just replaced mine.
I own a 1997 Ford Contour and there was a recall a few years ago on the heater blower and resistor. Check out the recalls on the car.
The contour warm air blower starts on a timer 45 seconds after the burner initially starts, not on temparture
