my heater fan stopped working a couple times last year for no reason . then would start working again on its own. now first cold night i go to the store and no fan. nothing. worked fine on the way home from work. bad switch ? bad connection ? played with fan switch. nothing. is this a common problem ? oh...its a 96 ssei with 118,000 miles. this is about the only problem i have had with it.

Bang on the blower motor housing in the engine bay. If it cuts in and out, replace it.

i think it may have something to do with the remote start. i used it for the first time in a long time last night. seem to remember now why i stopped using it ! odd :?
worked fine this morning starting with the key.

Mine stopped how yours did. It would work sometimes and sometimes not. I had to replace it and now it works. BUT, the motor I put in there is not balanced and it only goes to level three. Which is better than no fan.
