88 k5 hi speed blower
I have had that very issue with my 88-K5 since the day I bought it. I was told there is both a resistor, and a relay, but the only one I know about is the one mounted on the side of the air conditioning housing.
I had this problem 2 winters ago...Removed the new replacement motor because problem persisted...Discovered that the grounding of the motor was only partially connecting enough for low speed operation...Cleaned off paint where ground contact was made...Corrected problem...Easy check as follows: Remove motor, leave elec. hooked up and touch motor to a/c aluminum receiver...If switch is on HI position on panel, motor should turn at high speed...A little factory paint goes a long way toward screwing up a good dc ground....
I had this problem when I got my '89, and it turned out to be corroded contacts on the heavy gauge purple 12v wire where it hooks to the blower motor. I replaced the factory connector with a large female spade connector and it's been fine since, except when I pulled that wire loose once...
