AC/Heater Blower
I replaced the relay and the resistor. I tried an old blower switch but no luck. If I play with both switches I can get 3rd speed but not high. I always have low speed working. Is there an in line fuse? Is there away to check the switches. Can it be something else???

How do I check that? Is that the same relay mounted on the wall, a little above the resistor? I replaced both of them(resistor & relay)! I still have not found an inline fuse. Not sure there is one on a 79

How do I go about checking the switch plug? In other words, I want to check for continuity to the plug harness at the switch. I'm stumped, I'm overlooking something but don't know what!

Are we absolutely sure about an in line fuse associated with the blower on a 79 L82 with air, cause I can't find one !!!!

I just looked close at the diagram I linked to-- it sucks! No indication that I saw of a hi-blow relay, and I KNOW there's one in that circuit.
track the orange wire back from the relay.. There will either be a fusible link in there or a fuse.

I think that circuit is the same on 79 to 82
maybe this will help
Check the ground for the relay, it gets messed up on a starter change sometimes, same with the blower ground. The Or wire turns on the relay, the power for the blower on HI is the Red one on the relay, it comes up from the fuse link on the starter. There is a connector on the main harness right behind the passenger head that burns pins sometimes too, you could be losing the ground or the power there
