Check wiring at back of switch. Then trace wiring to fan-you'll be looking for loose wiring.
If nothing could be the fan

    Hi Again readers ( I think I finally got the posting right this time!)!
    
    Guess what - I start my Van, and my fan works OK. Within 5 Min., it cuts out.
    
    Sometimes it doesn't even work when I start the van. It wouldn't be that annoying except for the fact that I can't see where I'm going for all the frost.
    
    And, it is now cold (-20 C.) to stick my head out like a doggie to see where I'm going.
    
    Anybody have a solution or idea as to what the likely culprit is?
    
    Thanks,
