I'd look at the switch...or look for a loose wire connection.

When the blower motor actually runs, is it good and strong on the high setting. If it is weak, then it is more than likely the motor on its way out. They will operate weak or intermittent when they are toasted. Changed many of them in CV's with the same symptom. You access them from right under the hood, real easy to change. The only problem you might have is that on the newer motors there was a running change to the plug connector requiring you to get an adapter from Ford. They charged almost as much for the adapter as they did for the freakin motor. Not sure if this applys to the SD though, but probably, because alot of those type items are used across lines.
