Blower motor wires crossed
Yes you are correct. That will increase your fan speed a little in cooling or fan only mode. 
The white wire is the common the colored wires are the speed taps. Black is high, red is low and blue is medium. Cap one of the colored wires and use the other two. Usually the black is for cooling and the red is for heating but having the 3 wires gives you options for the fan speed. If you are unsure if there is enough air to cool the furnace properly use the highest speed. The brown wires are for the capacitor which must be replaced at the same time with the matching micro farad rating as the motor.
