Not likely, probably the motor itself on a 107. At least it is easy to get to. Do check it by pressing the defrost button though

Could also be a vacuum leak.

Hard to believe, but this can be a problem with the ignition switch. Jiggle the key (with engine on) while operating the HVAC where the blower motor would be expected to be ON and see if it becomes intermittent.

Quick Check..

Does the blower turn on when you press DEF? If so then you've got a vacuum leak.

My wife's keyring also does double-duty as a self-defense weapon, kind of like a middle-ages mace.

Needless to say, she doesn't put that wad o' keys in MY car...
