Question 2001 Ford Focus SE - Heat Stops when it wants to

Good Afternoon All,

I have tried searching your forms, and have not come up with an answer, I am hoping one of you all can help me out.

I have a 2001 Ford Focus SE 4 Door, owned it for 4 years now, has 114K miles. (35k on new motor...engine blew up at 80K)

The start of the summer the AC was not working well at all, not blowing any cold air. I used a "stop leak can" and freon from AutoZone...my AC blew cold all summer long, worked well.

Starting about 2 weeks ago, when either the AC or the Heat is turned on it will run fine for a minute or two then shut off. When I turn the control off for about 5 mins, then on again, it will run for about 2 mins then shut off again. It does this no matter what temperature it is set on...

I have had sooooo many issues with this car, and the dealer refuses to help. Has anyone else had this issue?

Any help would be awesome.

Thank you!
KC

Yes, the fan stops blowing hear/air after a min or two of being on. Sorry if I did not make that clear.

If it does not blow on all speeds I would check the connection at the blower motor itself.If it blows on some speeds check the blower resistor under the dash.
