My heater/ac blower went out but if I let the truck sit overnight it works the next day but only for an hour or so. What is the main problem?

So it doesn't work on any speed when it's inop?Without doing some testing we won't know the problem. Do you have a multimeter to do some testing?

Only the back fan works. But the main blower works on and off. Like yesterday it worked for about an hour then shut off but tday it starting working and then shutoff. Im thinking an electrical problem just because it works whenever it wants. Is there anyway to tell what it is without a multimeter?

Without a multimeter you won't know if your loosing power or ground to the blower motor. So you will just be guessing to what is wrong that could get expensive. You could try wiggling the connector to the motor and see if the terminal's are loose.
