Does it do it in the windshield defroster position only or heat position only?

Thanks!When you say the "heater kicks on", do you mean the blower motor turns on and then off?

The blower motor recieves it's power from Fuse #6 (40 amps) on the power distribution panel under the hood. If the blower stops running as you describe, only two things can cause that: a blown fuse, or a siezed blower motor.

A blown fuse would be easy to spot, but a siezed motor can only really diagnosed by taking it out and running 12V directly on it.
