Ask your mechanic if he changed the knock sensor harness as well. It is highly recommended to change it at the same time. The blower is more than likely the resistor. There is a service bulletin for these. Chevy offers a upgraded resistor and a heavier wiring harness. If you look under the glove box there are some wires running up to the resistor. Pull it out and more than likely it will have burn marks from getting too hot. If so, replace it and the harness. It isn't that expensive from the dealer. I think I spent right at $90 for both. Usually a rotten egg smell is an indication of a catalytic converter going bad. Hope this helps!
