Default Fan/Heater Blower

Regardless of which position I have the switch in, the fan remains off. I'm thinking that the wiring may just be screwy, or that the switch itself needs freshening up with a little sandpaper and dielectric grease on the terminals, but I'm wondering if there's anything else I should look at, including the fan itself.
Any suggestions?
TIA.

I would check the fan first. Just unplug it and check with a test lite. If it lites up you have a bad blower motor.

On the passenger side of the fire wall, just to the inside of the hood latch. You will see a relay switch. This is for the fan control. Go to your local auto parts store and ask for a fan control switch for your vette. just switch the wiring connector. I just did mine a few months ago. They are cheep. 9 times out of 10 thats will fix it.

This worked for me and I had the same symptom.
