Default A.C / Heater blower motor

I have 2013 JKUR with 1500 miles. When I start the jeep the A.C takes about two seconds to come on, once it comes on it does fine until about 45 seconds to a minute later the fan pauses for three , maybe four seconds. I thought it might be because of my remote starter , but I noticed it does it both ways (remote start or key start)
Anyone have these problems or experienced this before ???????

My Rubicon doesn't have auto climate either. Wonder if it is in the programing of the computer ? Its just weird that in 90 degree weather all is fine , and then the blower pauses. Just seems that it shouldn't do that. It didn't do that on my 08'.

My 13 JKU does the same at start up. Have not noticed the other scenario you described. Did notice makes a whining noise when you shut the air or heater off. Sounds like a blower winding down. I thought this was how the Jeep was set up
at the factory. If I'm wrong and someone knows different pls advise. Good Lick, have fun Jeepin!!!

There are multiple threads with varying titles pertaining to this very subject. From all accounts there is nothing wrong its a "Jeep thing". Not a resolution nor any assistance in determining the root issue, sorry. Mine has done it since the day it was unloaded from the truck. 10k miles in the hot south and still works fine.

So all jeep wranglers A.C. pauses at start up? Are there any ASE mechanics out there that might have an explanation for this.? For some reason I find it hard to believe that an engineer(s) would design a vehicle to pause the blower motor for what ever reason. My wife's 2013 KIA Optima SXL doesn't do it. My 2008 2 door JK didn't do it. There has got to be a reason for it.

I have no idea , but I can tell you that it's driving me crazy !
Makes no sense....
Unless maybe its the computer switching from strictly battery power to the direct charging of the system , or maybe a delay in the computer initializing upon start up? Somebody has got to have the answer.
