Default Heater issue, maybe a short?

My heater does not turn on since last winter. Ran hot when it did, so I know it does not need a heater core replacement but here's how it all started: When heater was on, each time I'd hit a bump on the road, the heater would stop working! after a few minutes it would start up again. Well now it does not start at all!
Where do I start???

The car is a 1988 B3 (90 Quattro) 2.3L, 10v

Thanks!

forgive me for my ignorance, but I have to manually start the heater with the ****, if that means anything, in other words, I'm not sure how to tell the difference but my car is an 88 B3 if that helps.

Thanks!
