First check fuses. Then check wires. Then test switch.
After all these are exhausted you can think about replacing the fan. It ain't easy.
Get a Bently Workshop Manual as it is quite involved. Also get a fan replacement clip set for reassembly.
In a nutshell, the fan is encased in the air distribution box (clever, eh?) and that is buried behind the dash... which must come out!
Then you have to split the box by cutting it open at the seams, replace the motor/fan, and reassemble with the nifty clips and then reassemble your dash.
If it sounds like too much fun, you are right. I lived without a fan for years for this very reason.

SOURCE: heater blower switch will only work at possion 4

Underneath the glove compartment on the passenger side is a cover which must come off,2 plastic screws holding this cover.Underneath you will find a 5 pin connector[big plug] connected to a white connector in the blower fan housing.This is called the fan resistor which controls the blower fan speed.Unclip the resistor out the housing and renew.Your problems should be solved..regards

Heater blower does not work on my audi a4, where

The blower motor is located behind the glovebox.

You will need to remove the glovebox and you will see the blower motor at the top right side. Remove the screws holding it, disconnect the electrical connector and remove it from the car. It is a tight squeeze, be patient.

Our 1994 pontiac transport van does not heat. Heater blower runs once in a while?

From your description, it sounds like your fan is the problem? I'm not intimately familiar with the pontiac vans but you pretty much need to track down the heater fan motor and the wiring between it and the switch. Check these wires for a fault and/or replace the wiring or the switch or the motor if need be. Because it's an intermittent fault, I think you probably just have a poor connection.

Check all your fuses just in case.

Good luck!
