“I have a 2008 Smart fortwo and for about 9 months now the blower motor has been working intermittently. I can't seem to detect any pattern for when it does and does not work. It sometimes will work as soon as I start the car, if not it will eventually work after driving for a period of time. It has also not worked at all for hours or sometimes days and then work perfectly for hours and sometimes days. …”
