Default Anybody who knows about a/c can this be salvaged?

Hi!

So my a/c stopped working out of nowhere as some of you might know cause I asked how to take out the resistor and the blower. Said and done...Immediately while removing I noticed the red cable from the resistor was just dangling (hence blower wouldn't engage). As I took it out and home I noticed that there isn't a piece the "red" cable would plug into (see picture). Then I noticed a little metal front piece, which was probably attached to the blower for the red cable to plug into was laying off to the side (picture).
So I guess my question would be what does the red cord usually plug into? And do you think this can be fixed somehow? Could I just tape the red cable somewhere on the blower to make it contact? Any ideas?
Thanks!

Try the pictures again so we can see what you are describing.
( no pictures )

If this is the red wire you are talking about, then one end connects to the resistor module, the other end to the fan motor :

So sorry, my phone wasn't able to handle uploading the photos. So I am doing it from my laptop now. Once again, I do not see a piece to plug the red cable into. I am also posting pictures of the blue cable and how that one is perfectly plugged in.
That little piece of my table, I assume is normally attached to the blower, for the red cable to plug into!

The loose tab in picture #3 is off the blower motor, that's where the red wire should connect.
Perhaps you can study the motor and see if it can be re-soldered to it ?
( it would be on the opposite brush holder from the blue one )

I looked into it last night. I feel like I might need to get a new unit. I see where it would attach but most likely will need a new blower. I think they aren't too expensive either and at least I'd have the piece of mind! Thanks for your help.

No problem, glad to help, and I agree that a new blower is probably your best bet.
