Aircon blower periodically not working

My 2014 q7's front blower seems to switch off from time to time. The back is working fine but the front keeps switching off for a couple of minutes and on again for a couple of minutes.
What can I do to fix this problem?

I assume you've disabled auto climatatronic and tried to force blower speeds on and its not working?

the blowers on these are notorious for failing, mine was a bit intermittent before it went out.. good news its pretty easy to get too right behind the glovebox.. less than an hour in the driveway and I had it replaced and everything put back together.. there are a few videos on youtube that should get you going.

with VCDS I was showing a short on the front blower.. I got the nicest aftermarket one from FCPEuro since they have a lifetime warranty.
