SOURCE: My heater doesn't seem to work however for a few

This is What "I call" Odd Even BUMP Syndrom, in other words the Right amout of BUMPS and it will Stay ON for you. The CAUSE is ALMOST ALWAYS 1 of 2 Problems 1 is A POOR "GROUND" Wire at the BLOWER MOTOR it self, The Other is A Poor CONNECTION at ITS MAIN PLUG or CONNECTER It can be Corrected By Turning it ON and BY HAND WIGGLE the CONNECTOR to BOTH FROUND Wire to it AND the Main Connecter to it.

My heater/ac fan dont work then when going down the road hit a bump it comes on for about 5 minutes the goes out also if you turn the steering wheel to the right on a curvy road it will come on turn back...

This sounds like a loose connection to the motor itself. My truck has been doing that lately and I finally figured out the problem only when I starting digging under the dash while the heater was going.

When you turn left or right, the steering column must be tugging on the wiring, and when you hit a bump it's just enough to jar the connection loose. Check where the plug goes directly into the motor...most likely it's under the dash on the passenger side, or on the firewall on the same side, but in the engine compartment. It could also be that your steering column has worn the coating off of the wire and it is shorting out every once in awhile when the exposed wire hits metal.

My car heater works fine sometimes and other times no heat comes out until I hit a bump in the road and it works.

this problem is most commonly caused by either a sticky air temp control blend door or a defective blend door electric actuator, this door controls the air temp at the heater/AC oulets.
