Blower Motor not coming on
Just the other day, I went to turn on my A/C and it wouldn't blow from the vents. I'm pretty sure the compressor is coming on because of the drop in engine speed but I haven't actually looked to make sure but I'm almost postive. So if the compessor is coming on, then they mode selector switch is probably good right? A couple days after it stopped working, the blower motor came on for a couple of seconds and hasn't come back on since. I'm pretty sure that it is probably the fan speed selector switch. Any thoughts?

Could be the blower motor itself. I had a fan motor which would work sometimes. Turned out I had to replace the blower motor. Could be a corroded switch too, of course.

I went ahead and pulled it out and blew out the dirt that had accumulated. Then with the key in the ignition turned on and the ac on I could move the power connection a little and the speed of the fan would go up or down or stop all together. I cleaned out the connections but that did not change anything.
The thing that finally fixed it was to put it all together and wedge a small piece of wood under the power connection to keep some tension on it. And since I cleaned out the motor and sprayed some wd40 on it, it blows alot harder now. Also replaced the 7mm bolts with 5/16.
