Default 92 SE heater/AC fan

I have a 92 SE and am having problems with the heater. I don't know if it is a bad switch or not but I get nothing when I turn on the heater/AC fan switch. It was working intermittenly last week but now it won't do anything. I have pulled the heater and AC control panel and don't see any loose wires. Any help on how to troubleshoot this problem will be greatly appreciated. This is my first post on the forum but I have come here for info before. Thanks.

Turn the fan on high (make sure the ignition is on) and then go and tap where the fan motor is. If you get nothing, then disconnect the wiring harness at the fan and test the voltages at the different fan speed levels. Let us know what you get.

Portland. Haven't had a chance to check voltage yet as my wife has been gone with the car all day. I will post the readings when I get a chance.

Tapping the fan housing causes the fan to work. Unfortunately, it only lasts until the car is turned off. Tapping again will restart the fan.
