So what is the prescribed repair? Ive always thought that a fail to start intermittently was a sign of a bad connection in the ACC.

Bad blower or brushes shows itself as a warping or popped fuse on IIRC #8. Usually warped if it is just getting bad and is intermittent, obviously, because of the elevated current draw.
