My fan blower motor quits or stalls for anywhere from a couple seconds to a couple minutes at a time. It does not seem to matter whether fan switch is set to low or max air. It also will not do it if I just run heat or fresh air, only when the air conditioner is on. When it stalls for too long I have taken to popping the hood and tapping the top of the acoustic cover which houses the fan blower motor with a dead blow hammer just once and then it springs back to life. I had the fan blower motor replaced a couple years ago and it has worked fine but now is acting up again. Please help, Thank you.

Think you have diagnosed the problem either poor wire connection or armeture/brushes in motor bad.
