When you turn your a/c or defrost on, it kicks the a/c compressor on, which in turn turns your electric fan on. I imagine especially with your defrost, the compressor only kicks on for a couple seconds, causing the electric fan to only cycle for a couple seconds. I suppose it's also possible that you're low on a/c refrigerant and that's why the compressor is staying on a short time, but I wouldn't be too concerned about it.
 
it never really stays on for more then 2 seconds, but its kinda constanly turning on and off and the air has blowing super cold so i dont think i need a recharge. but could be a possiblility.

and i just reread what i originaly wrote and i ment to put compressor instead of condenser.
