Default A/C Turn on Question

On my 95', with the fully automatic system,I had a strange thing happened last night.I pushed the A/C on button and nothing.pushed Fan only..nothing.Then after about 15 Min. it came on.Thought it might be a relay problem.I checked the FSM and it looks like there in't a Blower Relay.Pg. 1B-25 says VIN P C68 (A/C Programmer) Man. Trans. only has an A/C Clutch Relay and an 2nd & 3rd Gear Blockout Relay????? This morning same thing.but I did leave it in the on position and after I hit a rather large bump it came on Again thinking relay being jarred loose,. Now today it's still working after cycling it on & Off a few times.
Now I'm really confused.I wonder if the Programmer does all this.

Any ideas as to where to start looking?

Thanx

I have intermittent problem like that as well. I have heard it may be caused by the contacts on the system. (which is common from what I understand) Many people say you can take it out and clean the the contacts and it takes care of it. You can also purchase (oh yeah they sell everything) a replacement unit.

It is a pain to take out because you have to take apart the console and dash area, but it is a no cost try.

If it's not that, maybe someone else has some other ideas.

It sure sounds like this could be the issue.
Here is a link that explains how to take it out and clean the contacts.
I haven't done mine, but I saved the link for the day I might need it.

There was a thread here recently by "Preacher94"---his problem sounded like yours---he could smack/tap on the evap/blower housing under the hood and fan would come on ---i guessed it to be blower control module problem--turns out it was the blower motor itself---just something else to keep in mind

You are right...I tapped the Fan Motor and "Viola" it came on. Installed new fan motor assy' and it's fine.

Thanx guys for all your input
