Re: 95 overheated

You need to figure out why the water pump belt broke. Most probably cause is that the water pump seized. If that is the case you are looking at $500-$600 to have a dealer replace the water pump, belt and tensioner and possibly the cam pulley.

The blower motor is not related. It is located inside the dash on the passenger side. There are two components that can fail. It is either the blower motor controller or the fan motor itself. Both are located next to each other under the kick panel. I recently had my fan stop working and it was the fan itself, but many people have reported having the controller fail as well. If you have a volt meter you can pretty easily check if its the controller. Eash of those parts are around $100 and you are probably looking at an hour or so of labor to install. Since you mentioned that yours sometimes comes back on when you hit bump it sounds like a failing motor to me.
