Perhaps ther bearings in the fan are going. When it runs a few minutes the bearings heat up and expand, slowing down the rotation. Once cooled the same process is repeated. You might be able to find one mail order or in a junk yard. good luck John Clark 82 westy

Does anybody have a clues as to why my front heater fan doesn't work right? It will occasionally go on a few minutes into a drive and then 10 minutes later it will start to "die". It will start to slow down, and in a few minutes it will quit. It won't start up again until it feels like it. Usually a few days later Same thing every time. I think my parent's checked it out at the dealer once and the dealer said that we needed a new ($$$$) fan. Too much money. It seems more like the problem would be electrical. I tried a new switch, but the same thing would happen. Any Ideas? please reply to arobinso@wsunix.wsu.edu Aaron Robinson
