The bower motor is most likely what you are smelling.Replace the blower motor,and the blower resister next to the blower motor if,the blower motor has no speeds.

I have a 2007 chevy Impala.The blower motor was not working.It is located under glove box.I was ready to spend big money for a repair.I checked all fuses,they were good.Then I tapped the blower with hammer.Blower started working again.Brushes might have been stuck.So until next time I will keep the #1 tool ready for action. Good luck with your problem I hope yours is an easy fix.

Chk for power at the blower motor electrical connector. If no voltage, check the blower motor resistor, its within the blower motor vent (this controls power to the blower motor). Also, in theses vehicles water may have damaged the blower motor itself. Inspect the blower motor for proper function.

A/C smelled like smoke then blew 30A fuse - Silverado 1500 2004

You may want to change the blower motor as a precaution.
Do all the fan speeds work?
If not .....change the fan resistor board which is right beside the fan at the same time you change the blower fan motor.

I have a 2005 chevy silverado heater/ac fan stopped working . Checked fuses all were good .Removed fan and it works ,whats next?

Treed55508,

Try this solution. I have had the same issue three times. A Chevy tech told me that if it keeps doing it, to replace the blower motor, as it seems to be a chronic problem with the blower having to much resistance and thus burning out the resistors. I suspect that you probably had lost one speed first and then more. It has happened both ways with me, once the entire thing went out at once and then the other times it goes one speed at a time.
