heater fan

[alancordeiro at att.net]

The brushes are worn down......typically will work on certain turns, or when 
accelerating or braking.....when the motor rotor is forced to move and the 
brushes make better contact.

Long term...new motor....or new brushes for the motor...but once you do the 
work to open it up and put it back...might as well put in a brand new motor,
