1.8L RS 4 Door - Interior Fan/Blower has intermittent On/Off problem - A/C Light on switch will always work and the A/C IS working (just can't blow it out) - The Fan stays Off majority of the time, but i can be sitting at a stoplight and the Fan will come on, but only for about 2 to 5 minutes then Off again for days/weeks - Banging on dash does nothing - It used to be it would go Off for a few seconds, then come back on and stay on for months or years - Now its just the opposite - And, does NOT fade on/off; its all totally abrupt when it occurs and it does NOT come On then Off then On sporadically (like a short might do) It's just On, then just OFF - Very puzzling, Hep me!
THIS is what I FIRST wrote awhile back about this Problem (Just to give ya more to read!)
For the past 6-8 years my Interior Blower would shut completely Off, then I'd toggle the Recirculate/Fresh air lever back and forth and it would come right back On - This happened maybe 3-5 times a year - Now, the Blower does Not work at all (at the time I wrote this = see above now) - The A/C Green push-on Light does light and I hear the A/C compressor (which knocks down the RPM's when on), but the blower does not blow nor make a sound at all - I have checked all Fuses under the dash And hood as well as the 40A Heater Screw-out Fuse and the circuits are all closed so, they are good - Help very much appreciated
************* HERE IS THE FIX ************* The A/C condensation, that drips occasionally on the passenger side, eventually RUSTED OUT THE FAN CONNECTOR located behind the foot panel - Very easy to get to - It was intermittent b/c of road vibration and then finally, became totally disconnected - Scratched off the rust, reconnected and taped up - Yea!
