Hello All,

I have a 1996 850 GLT wagon, non-turbo, with a 5 speed manual which I have owned since new. It has the dual climate control feature. It presently has 282,000 miles on it. Recently, while the a/c was on, the blower began to working intermittently. When the blower stops working, it doesn't matter if you switch the a/c from the "aut" to the "manual" setting, the blower will not work. I noticed however, if I keep switching the setting from "aut" to "manual" and back, after a while the blower will begin to work again in either mode. I can't say for sure if the "switching" of the blower setting is what "restored" it. When the blower begins to work again, I noticed no change to the usual sound that it generates. I checked the fuses and they are fine. This is the original climate control unit that came with the car. This problem occurs imtermittently but is the first time I have ever experienced it on this car.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing the blower to cut in and out like it does? Thanks in advance to all who respond, I appreciate your help very much.

Hugh
