Heater fan problems

[SJ]

I do believe that the blower motor electrical connector is easily accessible
. . well, almost easy.

You can connect a voltmeter at this point and observe what happens during a
normal car startup, and driving.

If you get 12 volts there and the blower motor does not run, then you have
the worn out brush syndrome.
Its possible that the brushes make contact when cold, and lose contact after
things get warmed up.

This is easy enough test to isolate the problem to either the motor or the
motor control system.
