Heater problems
« on: November 05, 2013, 10:03:11 am »
Hello I'm new to the site this is my first post,
I have 73 C10 5.7L, the heater won't switch to HI only low and medium.
Also it won't shut off. Not a/c equipped. Thanks for the help.

Most of the time with the heater not working on HI, or only on HI, its the selector switch that has gone bad. what have you tried so far to fix the problem?

I haven't tried anything, I've been trying to do research and kinda coming up empty. I can't find a diagram of any kind on it.

See the 1973 Wiring Manual in the 1973-87(91) GM Pickup Manuals section of the Forum Technical Pages.

The heater blower is designed to run on "low" speed whenever the ignition is switched on.  Never blowing on "high" speed is likely the blower switch, but could just as easily be poor connections.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!
