You can tighten a fan belt by tightening the tensioner pulley. Pry to the left on the tensioner pulley and tighten it.
The thermostat fan switch can be found on the front of your 2.0 liter engine. The fan switch will be near the top of the engine.
three possibilities , fan thermostat switch is bad or cooling fan relay is bad, or radiator is low on coolant (possibly due to a leak - check reservoir & top up if needed).
The fan continuing to run after turning off is normal it just proves how hot the engine is getting (overheating). Your promblem is why is it overheating? Being a 214 I would suspect head gasket but it could be a coolant circulation problem (thermostat failed in closed position, water pump worn, or simply a partially blocked radiator) If it isn't the head gasket it soon will be if you don't sort it on this engine.
on the radiator fan
If your car has the "X" engine with carburetter the fan switch is in the intake manifold more or less in front of the distributor. If your car has the "W" engine with fuel injection the fan switch is in the top of the thermostat outlet.
The engine fan switch is probably in the 'on' position.
The operation of the fan is controlled by an independent engine temperature switch. Depending on the temp. of the engine block the fan with switch on/off. It's not uncommon for the electric fan to switch on once you stop the engine because the flow of radiator coolant through the engine stops when you turn the engine off. Without the coolant running through the engine and radiator the temperature of the engine will spike for a short time triggering the electric fan. It should shut off after a few moments.
The electric fan is operated by a switch on the aircond receiver drier. The engine fan on the water pump is operated by an electric switch on the front of the head
The coolant fan switch on a 1998 Contour is located at the front of the engine, near the radiator. It controls the speed and operation of the cooling fan based on the actual engine temperature.
There isn't a "fan motor switch", but there is a fan motor relay, located in the electrical box under the hood by the engine.
no switch,fan control is determined by the engine control unit with input from the coolant sensor
