Heater blower motor

Question:

My blower heater motor stopped working one day just before inspection. I was getting 12v at the motor, the ground is good.
I also did a direct hook up from a separate power source. The motor still did not turn. The fan moves freely by hand.

2 days later -

I go to the junk yard and pick out a new motor, and a heater coil ( in case my goes bad )... I get home and whaddaya know!! My still installed motor works just fine.

Now... does this motor contain a thermostat that caused this prob? I figure its somewhere from where the leads go into the motor.

??????????????

lol... haa haa.. I was actually being serious. Ticked me off that it stopped working for inspection.... then worked a day later.

But, I did happen to tighten the wobbly shaft and refilled my back-up light fluid.

If you do replace the motor and coil don't use used parts. It's way too much trouble to have to do twice. Especially if you have AC.
