Front Heater

My Front heater fan works intermittently. Either not at all or fully functioning. It seems to come on after about 20-25 minutes driving. Any ideas ?

fan motor

my fan is not working? I have had a new fan motor fitted last year! are these prone to failure? the heat seems to be there but the blower speeds do not work. All the climate control options work but no fan speed is present? is this a fan motor problem again? Could it be a fuse??
