    Sounds like a bad ignition switch.

    I had the same problem last fall and everyone said ignition switch. I kept troubleshooting and was convinced that it was the fan switch. I replaced it and the problem went away. How I nailed it down was, once it got to where the problem became constant instead of intermittent, I disconnected the harness from the fan switch and it went away. I turned the switch to off and plugged it back in. The problem was still gone. When I turned the fan switch on, problem came back. Unplugged switch and the problem went away. Lather, rinse, repeat.

    Yes, mine had EXACTLY the same symptoms. Changed the heater blower switch and it has worked great now for 6 months.
