Default 1971 ls5 ac

Replaced all o rings, had cooler condenser repaired, new return tube from dryer, compressor checked. AC works fine when jumpered out. Then located diseling relay, changed it. No change so put a jumper wire in AC works fine. Ordered a New blocking relay next to it. If that doesn't work any info would be appreciated. By putting a jumper wire in on terminals for anti diseling relay works fine but doesn't have max blower speed.

Nice list of stuff you have done. What is the problem, specifically? If MAX blower speed is your problem, that HI speed is separately fused with an "in-line" glass fuse. It is located in the engine compartment near the brake master cylinder. Look for a large orange power line with an integrated fuse.

Default Fuse

That fuse is fine. With the metal cover off the blocking relay, if I manually get the contacts to make contact, max blower speed comes on. Does dieseling relay work in tandem with blocking relay. They sit side by side on blower box. I know blocking relay is bad. When I took its cover off it contained lots of rust.
