2000 LS2 A/C and blower issues

I'm having two problems that showed up almost simultaneously (the same day) but doubt that they're related. I was on a trip doing a lot of driving in the hot weather, so I had the air on, with recirculate, for extended periods. My wife noticed it first on her side and I noticed on mine that the carpet (and our shoes) were getting soaked. I imagine that the recirculate path of the air was creating some condensation where it might not normally. Is this normal, a known design flaw or is something broken?

The other issue, and I will try and be short, is that the blower comes on and off, basically, when it feels like it. When I start the car, it's usually not running no matter where the selector switch is. Sometimes when I shut the door, it will start, but usually it's when I hit a bump. On top of that, when it comes on it may be on a setting that's lower than the actual physical switch setting or the force of air may start out on, say, high and then over the course of time degrade to a lower setting or stop altogether. The blower is not making any unusual noise and there are no other known electrical problems. Jiggling or raking the selector switch has no effect of any kind. I realize that it's probably a short/loose connection, I just don't know where to check for it based on the symptoms. I have the shop manuals.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

As far as the condensation problem, I would suspect the drain path/hose from the A/C condenser has gotten clogged up with dirt or mildew and is causing the condensate to spill over..
