Driving through 8 inches of snow and it feels fine- no oil leak that I can see. Yeah, I think they did a good job on it and hopefully it will not leak oil from else where at least for a while. I think I will tackle a transmission fluid and filter change once the snow goes away, that will be the next thing!!

You'll need to pull the glovebox out to get access to the blower motor. Disconnect the wires and test for power on all the settings as they mentioned above. If there's power then pull the motor and replace it. They aren't outrageously expensive and it's reasonably easy to do with basic tools.

Hi Bennie, Today I got the engine Running! A bit rough on Idle, but I hope That may be related to a poorly installed MAF and no exhaust pipe (and Oxygen sensor) yet. Couldn’t run it longer than 20-30 secs because I still haven’t installed the radiator. It didn’t start because of the Start cable on the ECU, connected it to “Hot in Start” and fired immediately. That gave me a burst of energy. EFI pump still doesn’t stop when I get the key to Off. I found there’s something funny with the Original wiring, but everything seems brighter now. Thanks for the support. saludos! Rafa

does it blow on High?

Update. I recovered my Subaru wagon today. Seattle Police found it in a parking lot of a low rent housing development and notified me. Keep in mind that if your vehicle is stolen, opt for the 'do not tow / impound option. Otherwise you will be nailed for tow and storage fees. Always get to the vehicle and then decide what to do. The catalytic converter was not stolen (rare these days ). I drove it home. I must have Subaru zen. The roof top tent was stolen which is not uncommon. The mounting framework attached to the vehicle was left behind. Most mounting systems do not have anti theft hardware. The 'tamper resistant' nuts that I have seen don't work. A cordless grinder will get through the mounts. A guy would have to build a system to remove the RTT after each use. They can be heavy and awkward. Previously, I drove around homeless camps all over Seattle and Kent. Garbage dumps. Face book has a section called PNW Stolen Cars. Check it out and you might be shocked. Ignition cut outs seem to be the way to go for many people. If they want your vehicle and can't drive it, they will tow it. They are pros and probably armed and dangerous. Interrupting an organized theft is risky. Be safe out there.
