AC fan worked intermittenly, sometimes would come on at reduced speed & sometimes won't come on at all.

fan doesn't work well, and now it runs even when everything is off, causing battery to discharge

When the car is turned off you can hear the fan running and cutting off by itself.

I have had this problem ever since I bought the car used, but did not know what it could be. I would like to find an inexpensive fix, if possible...

Air conditioner stops working. Display sometimes fades away but control button lights stay on. I have had the blower motor replaced once and the ac control module replaced 7 times sometimes with oem and sometimes with aftermarket. Doesnt matter which the results are always the same. I can sometimes bang on module and it will slowly start up. I live in texas our first heat wave was in March. Help!!!
