You should get power to one of these at every speed on your switch. if you don't then switch may be bad if you do then resistor is bad. Doing this from total memory as I am not home to confirm. this info based on my 78 with air. Someone jump in if my info is not correct.
That is correct. It is the resistor and yes the yellow wire is low speed. If you have a 4 speed fan, you can remove the yellow wire from the connector and have a OFF and 3 speeds. This is what I did cause on mine the low speed always blows when key is on. It was really irritating in winter when first start in the morning air blew from vents before truck warms up.

I believe you can still buy a resistor if you need one.
