saw Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I've noticed over the past couple of days that my climate system fan works only when it's set on the number 4 or high position. The first 3 settings, now, do nothing. I assume, from what I've gleaned off the web, that this has something to do with a bad resistor of some type. Where is this resistor located in a '91 Legacy, and any idea of the price? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunered Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 its kinda behind the glove box,you will have to remove the glovebox,you will see a connecter,pull off and there is screws that hold it in.it looks like a cage wiyh windings in it.maybe the plug is loose? never had to replace so dont know about price.im sure somebody will know.

frag Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Look under and behind the glove box. You might be able to reach it without removing the glove box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 You should be able to get to the resistor box from under the dash next to the blower motor. You are most likely going to have to go a scrap yard and pul it out of a car. If you can find them, get a few of them. People have tried soldering in resistors with mixed results. I dont know what subaru gtes for one, it may be just worth it to bite the bulit and get a new one, as this is a common failure with age. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Remove the glove box. It's two screws and when you do that, you'll be staring at the connector for the resistor pack. It's the thing in this pic. http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/accomp/DCP_2945.JPG remove the connector, and two screws. Pull it out and swap it for another one.

lekmedm Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Contact Toney at John and Phil's Toyota and Subaru in Oregon at subaruparts@johnphils.com. She just sent me a resistor pack for about $43 with shipping. I have yet to put it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 The problem that I had with mine was that alot of garbage had gotten into it and kept it from blowing at its full peak, also I had some trouble with the little connnecters on it, had to set them back just right.
