Consumer Description

WHEN TURNING ON THE MAX/AC BLOWER FAN THE FAN BECOMES INTERMITTENT/SPORADIC. THE FAN RUNS ON HIGH AND THEN SHUTS DOWN THEN RUNS ON HIGH AND SHUTS DOWN. ETC. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND ON CITY STREETS WITH NORMAL STRAIT AWAY DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE AND APPEARS TO HAPPEN EACH TIME THAT I TRY THE MAX/AC FAN.
