Default Electric fan coming on and going off for no reason?

Just started yesterday, the fan on the passanger side will come on first thing in the morning when the car is cold and run on and off all day? It runs all different speeds. Weird thing is that it almost seems to shut off if the car is in reverse and I push the brake?

Do you have a UL? If so, it could be he rear AC fan. I had a similar problem taken care of under warranty.

Its the fan right behind the radiator. I had the timing belt servece done last week so Im thinking there is a loose wire from the fan.

Fixed..The car has a cold air intake and it was rubbing on one of the plugs on the fan. Rubbed through one of the wires. When I put the car in reverse the engine torqued enough to take the pressure off of the wire...weird. I know a bad *** mechanic in oklahoma if anyone is in need! lol
