Blower Functioning Intermittently

[VX KAT]

Next time when your motor is not blowing, go ahead and hit your glove box pretty hard with your hand. If it starts blowing again you have a motor that is going out. My motor seemed fine too but it was in fact a slowly dying motor that occasionally would not work right.

The hitting the glove box was what I used also till I replaced the resistor and then still had to use it till replaced the motor.

Learned something new here.... the glove box...

I'm having a custom aluminum radiator built ...should I consider replacing the blower motor prophylactically when I get it installed ?
I have an '01, 77k miles.
If so, OEM or aftermarket?

Does the blower motor have something to do with the radiator? I thought it only forced air out of the vents...?
