I have a 79 in near perfect condition that I am beginning to rejuvenate. The
Blower motor will not run when the dash switch is in the high position. I
replaced the switch and the problem persists. Could the blower motor be bad
or is there another relay that I can check? Thanks David

Check the molded wire connector at the RH rear of the motor. They always get
burned on the F body cars. Cut it out, join the wires together and I'll bet it
works :).

Common issue on these cars.

Not sure on this car but the HIGH circuit is usually a different feed
with it's own fuse. Look for a fuse near the blower motor. The other
speeds run through resistors but HIGH picks a relay and is fed through
that other fuse.
