my 82 cutlass blower motor still does not work on high i changed the relay
and i checked power to relay and there is power and the switch does work
but still no high fan, i did take the ac out of the car. is there
something with the ac not hooked up that needs to be hooked up to run on
high or what could it be

Go to autozone.com/repairinfo for a wiring diagram of the system.

When you say that there is power to the relay are you speaking of power to
its coil or power to its normally open contact which supplies full battery
voltage to the blower motor?
The red wire to the relay should be hot at all times. Power to this point
comes through a fusible link, not a fuse. Check to confirm that power is
getting there.

i checked the wire from my switch to the relay by moving the switch and my
light tester came on when i turned the switch to high. but now what to do
now? im sure the red wire is hot all the time couse the fan does run on
the lower settings

That red wire powers the fan ONLY in high speed when the dash switch
energizes the relay which you checked with your test light. There is a
separate source for the lower speeds.
You need to confirm with your test light that the red wire is indeed hot all
the time regardless of ignition or heater switch position.
Can you listen for a click or feel for the click on the relay when you turn
the switch to high? Perhaps a helper can aid you.
If you don't hear or feel a click my next suggestion would be to put your
test light leads right across the coil of the relay. The test you did
proved that voltage is getting to the coil, but it did not tell you if the
relay's ground circuit is intact.
