Maybe. If you have a temp gauge watch it like a hawk. Many cars will run ran with A/C request if not triggered properly by engine heat alone. If that works, just put temp setting to highest temp (up but A/C) and lowest fan for inside.

You said you were sick of playing mechanic but you could jumper fan directly with a FUSED wire to battery and alligator clip leads in a jam. 15amp fuse should do. Parts stores sell a length of wire that holds a spade fuse - handy to have for assorted things when made up as a jumper.

That's emergency makeshift trickery. If you don't know what and how DON'T! Loose wires must be out of harms way if you even think of something like that,
