I cannot tell if you're being serious or not here. If tapping it didn't work but starting it by hand did, I am going to bet it's just the fan motor. Replace the motor, it will more than likely fix the problem. Seriously, just try it bud.
Used ones are pretty cheap.

The motor runs on 12v when at full blast. There is usually a resistor pack responsible for the other speeds. At high, it's getting 12v, at a notch below high it's getting 11v, etc. At low it might only be getting 1v. If you have a bad resistor pack it could explain the random behavior. But if it isn't running when set at any speed then this is unlikely.
You might be able to disconnect the electrical connector on the motor and run 12v to it. Or, you could remove your motor and hook it directly to 12v using jumper wires and see if it takes off. If it functions properly under direct power, the problem is elsewhere. If not, it's the motor. Find a wrecked Mirage and cannibalize the blower motor, or get one off of Ebay. There are usually only three nuts and an electrical connector.
That's really the only way to rule out the motor as your problem: test it directly. And I am sure the dealership knows that...
Dealerships have a vested interest in keeping you coming back, and unless you actually got the old blower motor back from them when it was replaced before they could have just pulled a twig out of it the first time (to cure the noise) and sent you on your way.
I hate being this cynical, but I have dealt with stealerships before.

I'm laughing over here. My issues are similar. Randomly comes on when I hit a speed bump or hit my dash. Then that stopped working. Decided to find the motor and give it a little wack.

Just a heads up, the blower motor can be replaced with a screwdriver without removing the glovebox. Takes a minute or 2. It mounts under the heater box. It's just 3 screws iirc. Hitting it will work fine until it doesn't anymore.
