I have (or had) a perfectly good running ceiling fan. It was free, and my curiosity and creativity kicked it. I want to strip it down and play with just the motor. Well some wires came unhooked during the process. I said to hell with it and stripped it down all the way. Now I have no idea what goes where.
I dont like experimenting when it comes to 120v feed from my main electricity box, so I want to find out what exactly I need to do to get this running.
OK, so here is what I am doing:
I want to run the fan motor only on high, and only in 1 direction. I dont care about the directional switch or the other speed settings.
My expertise comes in DC, so when dealing with capacitance in AC circuits, I fall flat on my face.
I have all the original electrical components, just sitting here waiting to be hooked up.
I have the fan motor itself . It has 4 wires. Brown, Black, Red, and Orange.
Brown to black carries a resistance of about 100 ohms, and Red to Orange carries a resistance of about 65 ohms. PIC:

I have the stock directional switch, the speed switch, and the capacitor. PIC:

Can anyone help me determine what I need to hook up where to run the motor on high speed only?
Thanks!
