Diagnosed that the A/C blower motor resistor had failed (likely caused by low battery voltage on the drive home). This was evidenced by the blower only working in off or full speed. Ordered a Ford replacement part on amazon for $64 and it took 5 minutes to replace. Took the truck to my mechanic to check the charging system, which is working normally. Was pleased that the truck got me home and blame the cheap battery, not the truck for this problem. Battery shorted out at less than 2 years old. Got a jump start and was able to drive home. Got a free replacement battery and installed it.
