'72 Factory AC - No 'hi speed' on fan
The heat/AC fan on my '72 C10 only blows low and medium. After searching this site, i found a couple threads that said to replace the relay under the glove box. I did that today ($19 from O'Reillys) and still no Hi speed on the fan. When I move the switch from Med to high, I do hear a click in the relay. I believe that the resistor controls fan speed on low & medium, and is bypassed completely for high speed. Not sure where to go from here.

The 12 gauge orange wire that powers the fan through the relay plugs into the CIG position on the fuse panel. Check that it's still plugged in. Measure voltage with a multimeter at the heavier-gauge orange wire at the relay.

Re: '72 Factory AC - No 'hi speed' on fan
I had remembered the high speed on A/C tied in as mentioned but was not sure as it has been a while. So other than connections, the fuse for the cigarette lighter is the first thing I would check. I always keep to KISS it first. "Keep It Simple Stupid".
