The fuse is going to be the least likely item to be intermittent.
When the fan does not come on at all is the best time to diagnose.
Turn the ignition to run or start the car. Turn the blower on high.
Go in from the passenger front door locate the blower motor under the glove box (no panels to remove)
and smack it either with hand or some object like the handle of a screwdriver.
If it came on, it needs a blower motor.
If it did not come on wiggle the connector going to it.(white with two wires).
If it came on it could still be the blower motor (internal connections) or like your dealer suspected back then, poor connections
at the connector,so terminal tension could be drag tested etc.
If it did not come on and you do not own a test light,take it to the dealer.
Even if you find the fuse blown,it blew because there is a problem in the circuit and again that could be the blower motor pulling
too many amps due to a bunch of different reasons, a short somewhere else etc. So if you replace the fuse without hunting the root cause down and make appropriate repairs,it just going to blow again.
