Heater Blower Motor

I didn't think I would ever have to ask this because I don't use it. But, my heater blower motor is a guess work if it will be on or not. It seems like if i turn a certain way or stop or start quick the blower will turn on and if i do the reverse it will turn off. Any ideas where to start? It has been near a hundred where a live (not normal) and I would really love AC. These cars without T-Tops definitely get hot in the summer. I have a 86 camaro with 305 TPI.

Thanks!

Try a new blower motor. THey wear out alot. THey're SUPER CHEEEEEEEP, like less than one yuppie food stamp IIRC, and only take about 5 minutes to replace if you're slow like me. You're probably faster than that though. You can probably swap it in less time than it took to type that post.

I'd place a towel beneath the blower motor so that when you lose a screw (and you will), it won't fall into the recesses of the car and/or be lost forever.

Your pretty sure it's the motor? I recently had the tranny re-done and the auto place said they fix the blower too and it worked for a day then stopped.
