Or trade me the whole fan.

Actually the switch is very hard.. I can't find a lead to where there is continuity on one setting and continuity on the other.. I've tried each pin using the wires that are already connected..

Got a pic of the back of it?

I think I got it for the most part.. It's going forward on both settings of the speed control, and reverse on one setting and the second setting the motor nudges upon power up and thats it..

I reversed the reverse switch wires and that fixed it..

That's not right. I only see 6 possible posts where wires could have been connected, and 2 of them already have lead wires. That only leaves 4 places to test. On what control positions is there continuity between the two existing wires?

Wire(s) that's missing would have been where there is solder.. I added a wire on the left where the short jumpered blue wire is for lead.. And another where the white jumper wire is.. Using the brown that's already there gives continuity in two positions, other gives continuity in one position, and both have no continuity in the off position.. Fan is still not wired correctly, the switch's off position, the motor doesn't move but is still on, with the switch totally removed the fan is still on, so fan motor is still getting juice regardless what setting the switch is on or even if the switch is in the circuit, so basically the switch being off is just bypassing the capacitor.. Switch also arks in between switching into different positions..

I got it working as it should.. I found another pinout on the switch and jumped two pins which gives the same on/on/off pattern.. Connected the AC lead to the one pin, and the middle of the reverse switch to the jumped pins which keeps the motor on and shuts it off on the position it should.. I doubt it was originally wired like that, but it's working..

That's still not right, it would not have had an off position.

After running for a bit, the cap is starting to smoke.. Not sure if it's wired incorrectly or it's just so happens the cap starting to fail.. The fan is rated at 8 amps, and it's drawing 8.5.. This thing may be wired completely backwards.. I've looked at 4 Evergo fans and they are much different, but slightly newer also.. The only way this thing is going to be wired correctly is to follow a fan that has this same setup..

Please stop now, you're going to destroy it.

Just got a new cap, A slightly different value, which makes this thing jump to 1.2amps on the highest setting.. Still on the third setting the fans cap is turned off making it to where the fan motor is still on, and won't startup unless it's already going or you give it a push in either direction.. I tried to tap into either cap lead on the third setting but all it does is give the fan another high position.. All I can think of is to buy a cap with 3 different values and try it that way..
