Why does my heat cut off and on and when it does work the heat only blows hot on vent?

I asked about my heat when I turn it on its hot for a minute then gets cold. You said to check the air blend door. My husband hasn't had a chance to check it yet but I noticed the heat blows hot when you put it on vent but now it cuts off and on no matter where you set it. Won't come on at all sometimes. Could that still be the air blend door? When it cuts off neither the heat or a/c work nothing comes on at all.

Are you dealing with a fan problem or heat issue?

Possibilities here could be the blower motor itself, blower relay and blower switch-

As raz said, it could be a few things for the fan motor. Start by checking if there is power to it. If there is, replace the motor. IF there is no power, check fuses and work your way back from the motor to see where power is lost.
