Default Blower motor advice

Parked my 2005 T6 for a week (in Montreal) while on vacation (Arizona). When I started it up there was not heat coming from vents. Did not matter if I chose windshield defrost, floor, or mid vents despite the led on the fan showing various fan speeds. I thought for sure based on other posts that the blower motor was gone (I checked fuses and all was good). I started the engine to move the seat back to start dismantling the interior to try to remove the blower motor and all of a sudden the fan started working again.

My question is what should I do now? Should I still replace the blower motor? Could it be something else? If I replace the blower motor does anyone have recommendations on OEM vs. aftermarket?

Thanks in advance

The resistor on the blower motor can be the culprit.
So sometimes it works sometimes not.
How exactly did you check fuses?

I checked the manual for all fuses related to heating/cooling the interior and then pulled them.

The weather did get a little warmer today when the blower started to work. Have you ever heard of a blower motor stopping when the weather gets cold and then all of a sudden start working when the weather gets warmer? Basically the temp went from -10deg Celsius to -5deg Celsius

I think pulling the fuses you may reset control module so it started working again.

The blower motor may have a bad spot on the stator that will cause the run no run issue..it would be wise to replace it may stop again when it's really cold..
