On my 69 GTO, my fan doesn't work on high speed but operates on the first three speeds.
The car has a new fan motor. Before installing it, the fan didn't work at all. It's an a/c set-up with the compressor out of the car. I just need it for window defrosting. What could be the cause of the problem?

First thing I would do is check all your connections,then I would see if the high-blower relay is bad(commonly are). Also there is a wire that is hooked to the back of the alternator and to the relay to supply a full 12V to make the motor spin fast.

Part of the high-speed wire is typically a "fusible link". Trace the wire, and you find the problem. Splice in a new fusible link and it should be fine again.

Lee,
Do 69 Goats have a fusible link by the alternator like my 71 T/A has? This car doesn't have one.

It has a 30 amp inline fuse. It sould be in plain sight right off the alt output wire.
