Question about blower motor going to high only when AC is on?

I have a '75 Silverado and when you turn the AC on the blower motor automatically goes to high speed and you can't switch it to any other speed. But the fan speed adjusts normal on all other setting, like vent, heat, and defrost. No matter where the fan switch is when you move the lever to AC, the fan goes to high speed. Any ideas on what's wrong? Thanks

Re: Question about blower motor going to high only when AC is on?

I know on both of my 76's they do it on the MAX setting. I guess they figured if you wanted maximum cooling, the fan should be on hi also. On the NORM or non recirc setting the fan works on all speeds. I think in 77 they changed the control unit to allow the fan to work in all speeds on the MAX setting also. I know my 78 does.

My 75 doesn't have a max AC, just AC. They must have started that in '76?

I had the same problem in one of my older Chevrolets. Take the level that goes from hot to cold and just move it just a little off of cold. Just a tad bit.

That worked, thanks for the info. I wonder why they were like that?
