Your Van has a nut loose behind the wheel.

And I'm not referring to the inclined plane helical type.

Check and make sure the fuse for the blower motor is only 20 or 25 amps.

I've had to pull the fan switch a number of times and clean the carbon off the contacts

Yes it could. In fact I was going to suggest this very thing but you beat me to it.
