ECC fan problem..

[Kneale Brownson]

There CAN be electrical contact problems both at the point power connects 
to the fan motor at the back of the motor bulge molded into the heater core 
box and at the point the fan control sensor is plugged into its wiring 
harness on top of the evaporator box.  Check and clean all those wiring 
connectors.  More commonly, it's the brushes worn out on the fan motor (you 
can expose one of those by taking off the rubbery tube that takes air from 
the squirrel cage housing to the motor housing and use a small screwdriver 
to push on the brush--they may keep it going till you can service/replace 
it) or the bearings/bushings the fan motor's shaft turns in.
