heater blower motor

Hello All,
New to the site and found a problem on my 86
ford I can't figure out. First it's an 86 F350 4 X 4 crew cab, 6.9L, 5 speed(swapped out the 4sp), with air con. My blower motor only has 2 speeds. On and Off. I've changed the resistor on the blower housing under the hood and have changed out the switch in the cab. Still only on or off. I would appreciate help if anyone has any ideas.

If all of the speeds involving the resistor are bad (not just one) then it's probably a bad connection on the connector that goes on the resistor. Did you notice any melting or evidence of connection problems when you put the new resistor on?

More than likely the connector is corroded, and not making contact with the resistor pack.

Very common problem.
