Blower motor stopped working

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

If it worked when you tapped it, chances are the motor itself is bad. If you look at the first four attached pictures below, they are a diagnostic flow chart to confirm the motor is bad. Keep in mind, a damaged or corroded connection or wire can cause this type of problem too.

If you decide the motor is the problem, here is a link that shows how one is replaced in general.
