heater motor comes on when it wants to--checked switches on dash all ok
--heater motor ok--its as if something under hood must warm up to
work--when it comes on you can turn it off and on and it works fine till
you shut off engine and let get cold then it stops working

The next time it doesn't turn on, whack it with your hand.... as if by
magic, you will see that the heater motor is NOT OK.

Curious.... 9 times out of 10, the condition you describe can be attributed
to a "dead spot" in the heater blower motor. Other possibilities include a
problem with the heater blower relay.... FWIW, Fuse 11 in the BJB (battery
junction box) supplies power to the heater blower motor through the relay...
From there it goes to the resistor pack and the heater blower switch.

I heartily recommend getting a subscription to one of the online information
outlets - especially when it comes to electrical. Having access to a wiring
diagram can cut down on repair time, frustration factor and wasted money....

replace the heater control in the dash it is run by electronics and
they do go bad

I had problems with the blower motor in my dodge van burning out the
resistor but, after fixing that the motor stopped. It turned out the
motor bearings had dried out or gummed up so that the motor shaft was
hard to turn. Since it was a sealed case motor, I had to buy a new
German motor for $75.
Since your problem seems temperature related, I thing the bearings are
gummed up like mine was.

I had this problem, it was a connector that was loose, became
overheated, corroded , burnt insulation from over amp due to bad
connection, I removed the connector, used wire nuts instead and magic,
no more problem.

It was hard to see too, took quite a bit of eye balling to realize it
was just that problem. it was the wire coming from the fan relay control
box and goes from there directly to the fan motor with a CONNECTOR
inline. (behind the glove box)
