Default fan speed

1975 coup anyone know why my ac heater fan switch will not go to high speed? It starts at low , goes to medium , then goes to next speed but when it push it all the way to the right , on more click shuts off. I have changed the resister, the relay , and change the fan motor and squirrel cage. What else is there?

If your 75 is the same as my 77 there is a high blower relay that mounts on the top of the A/C evaporator box

Default Is 75 the same as 74?

You might have a bad inline fuse. Look under the left fender near the M/C.

The blue wire at the relay needs to be hot when the fan is on high AND the relay case needs to be grounded.
