Blower Motor Problem

The other day I was driving my 78 f250 with factory a/c and I parked it and came back 20 minutes later and the a/c will only blow 1 speed. If i mess with the switch enough it will bump up alittle faster but not the full speed it used to have.

I am kind of thinking the blower motor has given up but I am looking for your thoughts on it.

It's not the blower motor, it's either a defective wiper switch or the blower motor resistor.

Weird thing is that tonight I was driving down a bumpy road and suddenly I could use all the different speeds like normal.

It seems like maybe I have a loose plug somewhere.
