Hi this is a common problem with these cars at the age they are now, I had the same problem and after changing, testing and trying other various suggestions the problem still existed, what i done was to follow the instructions How To Do Things, there is an article that describes perfectly how to get to the blower motor and make a reasonable repair a little fiddly but but now it works, had no problems since Good Luck.

Might I be right in thinking the A/C wears the fan out faster than otherwise cos it keeps using it?
