gcleeton Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 The blower switch on one of my Legacies has ceased to operate in Positions 1, 2 and 3. Everything works in Position 4. I assume the problem is the blower motor resistor? Can anybody give me a 'blow by blow' account of how to get at it and replace it please?

Legacy777 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 remove glove box, look at resister pack straight ahead, remove it, insert new one, and reassemble. it's very easy. here's a good pic http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/accomp/DCP_2945.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avk Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 While you're in there, clean AC evaporator and housing with suitable tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 You really can't clean the evap box out just through the hole for the resister pack. I guess you could look in, and see how icky it is though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avk Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I had some leaves, pine needles, seeds etc. on the bottom of the box which I was able to blow out, and also sprayed some mold killer on the evap. It would be a different matter if the evap. core is all gummed up, but it's important to know that the resistor hole gives access to the evaporator.

rdp5008outback Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Where can I get a replacement resistor pack? How much does the part cost? My 1998 OBS is having the same problem (only working on position 4). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edrach Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 The resistor pack is meant to be in the air flow for cooling; if the air flow is restricted in any way, the resistors will overheat and fail pre-maturely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
