If I press the off button and hold it then the blower will stay off until I release the switch. Sometimes it will stay off until I press a selection on the climate control unit. Every time it comes on on it’s on the AC compressor comes on too. In other words, mine comes on with the key switch 95% of the time and blows according to the selected fan speed. It will shut off on it’s on. Every time it’s on the AC compressor is on. I hate electronics! ��
The pushbutton units are well known for bad solder joints, especially on the push button switches themselves. Poor connections or broken solder joints will cause the behavior you're describing, the biggest indication being that it will stay off if you hold the "off" switch.
