New blower motor issues?? Help please

I've got a 2007. A few months ago the blower motor resistor went out and tje blower would only work on the highest speed. I changed it out and all was fine for a few days and it went out again. I had read that the blower motor itself is usually on its way out. I went to Autozone and got a replacement blower motor and resistor. Continental brand blower. All worked great for a week and the resistor went out again. I ended up cleaning a ton of leaves and debris out of the cowl area and replaced the dirty cabin air filter. All was great up until today. On the way home in 98 degree weather, the blower stopped blowing altogether. No speeds, nothing. I dropped the glove box and smacked the blower motor and it sprang to life. What is causing this? This is a brand new blower motor. Should I put the old one back in? I'm really at a loss now and stressed. Help.

It's Only a Guess But If You Smacked it and It Started Working Either it is a Bad Connection or Something Amiss in The Blower From The Sound Of It. 30+ Years Selling Factory Parts & Seeing How Fords are Particular With Certain Electronics. Just an Observation!

See If Your Zone Parts Had a Warranty & Try To get a Refund Cause They Are Not Holding Up!

I think i will just buy a motorcraft brand blower motor. I was dreading buying one before because I don't want to cut and replace that connector.
