Newb. Lurked here for a long time, finally joined and searched but found no symptoms similar to mine, hoping someone has similar experience or advice.
93 FZJ80. 227k miles. No owner's manual, no FSM, no Haynes.
Everything worked fine until about a week ago I started getting strange action out of my blower motor:

Everything worked fine until about a week ago I started getting strange action out of my blower motor:
- blower or fan randomly works, regardless of which fan setting from low-2-3-high I have it set on
- fresh air vs recirc switch works, but has no effect on whether blower motor runs or not
- a/c compressor is working (cold air when the fan does blow and the engine is idling up when compressor engages
- all lights on switch panel work
- fuze appears normal, and again, I get (sometimes) full force fan
- at the same time I started getting erratic blower motor operation, I started getting concurrent "static" in my (aftermarket) stereo which is commensurate with fan speed (sounds like static "ticking" at varying tempos coming through my speakers)
- performance is rarely all "on" or "off".. I get varying speeds/effectiveness as it runs, so.. as the fan is set on highest setting, I get fan perfromance from zero, to rising and falling medium speeds, and sometimes full force high
