heater hot wire/need help

the heater motor in my truck only runs on one speed. i think its low you can move the lever but the motor dosnt speed up. it only will go off or low.i have heard of hot wiring it so it only runs on high the you just use a toggle switch to turn it on and off. i would like to do this if its possible . thanks for any help

That's weird, Usually when the resistor goes you only get High speed.

Do you have A/C ?

that is what normally happens.. I haven't looked at the resistor for a while. I do recall my dad have to replace the power wire from the fuse block to the motor due to corrosion. Could be something to check out...

Don't overlook corrosion on the ground wire either...
