Before that, drove to many states in a sleeping bag before I fixed the floor. Where there's a will, there's a way.

Keep smacking it. Really, those Chevy blowers are notorious for that. When the motor is on its way out you can usually get it to start by kicking it, and get by that way for quite awhile if necessary. On my 2000 Chevy I've had to whack it 2 or 3 times in the last year. Then it lasts for months.. My little brother kept his 95 Chevy blower going that way for years, until he finally broke the cover from kicking it so much. Lol don't do that.

Sorry, I only date back to the 02 Dodge Dakota and on. If you busted the plastic housing it'll just be an air leak. Put some gorilla tape over it. If you leave it open you wont get as much air out of your ducts.

If you ran the blower on the highest setting it melts that wire in the connector in the plug. I changed a couple of those on an envoy I had. Plug can be changed without pulling any dash apart except for the kick panel. If you can get to the connector pull it apart and jumper the hot wire to one of the other terminals to get the fan to blow.
