a/c fan switch

Hi all, the fan switch on my 72 cheyenne super will not work on high, it works on the rest of the settings. This is an a/c truck/switch setup and a 402. I want to say I remember the reason this happens is because of the resistor or the switch itself of something along those lines. I was just wondering if someone could shed some expertise on the problem. thanks

It's your High Speed Relay - passenger side attached near vent pull on heater/ac box...I'll look for a pic.

Re: a/c fan switch

could be the resistor, the switch, the relay, or a bum wire

Re: a/c fan switch

Try turning your switch on high, then wiggle the wire connection on the relay.

Re: a/c fan switch

The relay is powered by the fat orange wire coming from the fuse block. Depending on where it's plugged into, it could just be a blown fuse.
