I have recently purchased a 1996 Intrepid ES rather cheap due to mechanical issues. Here is the one I need help with! The heater/blower motor turns on and off intermittently. At first I thought the problem was in the control panel because when I held in the off button with a lil extra force it would turn off so I took apart the dash and unplugged the control panel and lo and behold I started the car and the blower motor turned on without the control panel plugged in. Any ideas as to what is causing this to happen or a good place to begin the search?
