Most likely a bad ground connection. I'm mot familiar with your vehicle, but since most blowers are mounted on plastic housings, the ground connection is through a separate wire attached to the motor casing. That connection, in an older vehicle sometimes gets a corrosive build up which causes intermittent operation. Disconnect, clean, and reconnect.
Another possibility, is that the motor brushes are worn down and have to be replaced.

Possible defective blower motor. Try tapping on the bottom of the motor when it shuts off to see if it will restart. If it does suspect a bad blower motor. If it doesn't, possible blower motor resistor problem especially if all blower motor speeds do not function properly

2006 Mazda MPV front vent not working

Many vehicles that have both front and rear A/C systems utilize two blower motors; one for the front vents and one for the rear vents. Each blower motor also likely has its own dedicated blower motor resistor to enable independent airflow control. The most common failure items in blower motor circuits are the blower motor and resistor. When a blower motor fails it will not work on any speed setting. Blower motor resistors however, tend to maintain proper operation on HIGH speed but none of the lower speeds; this is not always the case though. Proper diagnosis begins with checking for power at the blower motor. If power is present, the blower motor has likely failed. If no power is present, the blower motor resistor should be checked for power. If power input is present but no output, the resistor has failed. If there is no power input, the fuse should be checked as either one of the component failures could have caused it to blow. After replacing the fuse the same checks should be made again to determine where the power flow stops and why.

First check the voltage at the front blower moter. If it has voltage then it may just need a new motor.
