Default 1998 Contour fan in-op?

Just bought a 1998 Contour Gl 2.0L. The heater/A/C fan is in-op. I was going to check the fuse.
but I do not have an owners manual. Can anyone help?

You can download an owners manual here.. https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenan...ls/default.asp

Also check the blower relay, the heater/fan blower resistor...

I checked the fuse and the relay, both are good. Anything else I can check?

I checked the power to the heaterfan motor itself and I am getting power to it. I assume the motor is bad. Does anyone know how to remove it? I do not see any screwson the motorto remove it?

Check for 12v and an applied ground for blower function/operation before replacement
