replacing furnace blower motor from a 4 speed to 3 speed

Roy Jones

I purchased a replacement blower motor but the replacement is a 3 speed vs a 4 speed can the 3 speed be wired up to the controller board?
4 speed motor has a med lo and med hi wire can I tie the 2 connections on the control board to the 1 med speed wire on the new 3 speed motor?

do you have AC on the furnace should be HI for cooling...and maybe LO/MED or just LO for heating.can't stack speed wires only single speed connections either or..do you have HI on the new 3 speed motor

One to hi, one to low and one on park

Good chance his old motor used med high and med low. So using med on his new 3 speed for both heating and cooling would be typical.
