Question Delay when turning HVAC unit on.

For the last month or so, my car has been experiencing an intermittent delay between the time you turn the HVAC unit on, and the time the actual blower turns on. It would only happen after I ran the car through the wash at work, but now it does it more sporadically.

It's not the end of the world, but it's rather frustrating. I wonder if it's related at all to that problem I have with the HVAC system defaulting to the floor position in cold weather?

hmmm, if its after wash have a look at the contacts within the blowe motor housing as some water always gets there, also it could be the regulator on its way out....
