From no compressor to intermittent blower

Well I wanted to give an update on this problem. I checked the air gap which was ok. And I used brake cleaner on the clutch and no change. So I checked the connector and after close inspection found the center wire had only a single strand still connected. I broke the plastic part of the connector during removal so I bought a new one and then cut and resoldered all three wires. After reassembly, the problem is gone. Now the compressor will continue to cycle as normal even after driving for some time. Great right?

Now there is a new problem. After several days of no problems, now the blower motor has stopped working consistently. When I operate the controls I can hear the air doors moving and the compressor kicks in. But the blower fan stopped working. I thought it might be the blower but I wanted to check for codes before I posted again. So tonight I checked for codes and got the following:

Pin 3 - 4
Pin 6 - 2
Pin 7 - 1
Pin 8 - 1
Pin 14 - 1

Now here is the interesting part. After checking the codes I turned off the key and then started the car. Then I turned on the a/c and put the fan on high and the temp wheel on full cold and the fan started blowing like normal. After a few seconds it was blowing cold. I checked the compressor and it was working fine. After around 10 minutes I turned off the a/c and prepared to shut off the car. But just for fun I turned the air back on. No blower! Compressor kicked in, air doors moved but no fan. So now I know the blower is still ok when it wants to be. But it was only happy for one cycle after checking codes?

I have no idea what to try from here.
