AC blows on high only

My 74 blows on high when you slide the top slide to AC no matter where the fan switch is. If you move the slide to anything other than AC the fan switch works as it should. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Re: AC blows on high only

I had the same thing till I found out from another squarebody guy. The temp slider has a slight indent just about 1/4 " to the right of full cold. So with temp slider all the way on cold, slide slightly to right till you feel a little bump. This will allow the fan to operate on different speeds. I couldn't figure it out till I found out.

Your welcome.

The fan runs on low speed all the time. The switch shows LO at the bottom setting, no off. There is MED1, Med2, HI. With the help of an electronics engineer, there is a way to eliminate the low speed.

On the blower motor resistor, the 4 wire connector, remove the top wire from the connector. It eliminates the low speed.
