im just puttin this out there..........there is a small possibility that when you depress the caliper without opening the bleeder that the brake fluid will make its way back up into the lines and ruin the check valves for the ABS system........i have done countless brake jobs and have never run into this problem but i have heard of it happening before.......just a tip.....

problem fixed...thanks for the ideas guys.....i was looking for the cooling fan relays and unbenounced to me subaru put 1 fan relay under the dash above the fuse box..theonly 3 i was checking were in the fuse box in the engine compartment...it turned out there was no relay in the connector under the dash......stupid me...should have read a proper wiring diagram......

1996 legacy L ej22...just wondering if anyone can tell me how exactly the AC cooling fans work.....the problem im having is the only fan that works is the main cooling fan.....isnt the other sub fan supposed to turn on when the AC is turned on?....the cooling fan comes on at the right time (when the engine is up to temp) and shuts off at the right time.......the MAIN FAN also comes on when i hit the AC button on the climate control panel, but isnt the sub fan supposed to turn on when i hit the AC button? i have tested a few things....all 4 relays tested good according to the HAynes manual, i have a good ground at the sub fan, the fuses are all good, but i have NO POWER at the sub fan...if someone could give me a brief overview on how the system works that would be great.......

the only thing i can tell ya is that it would be a pretty underpowered Forester....obviously the main thing that is holding all subarus back from getting better fuel economy is the AWD standard im not sure how much you will gain from going from a 2.5 to a 1.8...but when it comes to fuel economy AWD def. isnt the way to go....

if your speaking about the fan where it says (1 2 3 4) yes it is supposed to light up.....i have a 96' legacy also.......when i acquired my car none of the climate control lights worked at night.......there are 3 small bulbs behind there i believe you can get them at radio shack for pretty cheap (i bought them at subaru) i cant remember the parts numbers off hand but do a search and you might find them (i think i got the PN from someone on the board)....its a pretty simple job........

1. im not to sure how it is in other states and countries but here in PA.....its a law that if one set of brakes fail (front or rear) the other is capable of safely stopping the vehicle.... 2. nothing i can think of.....as long as you have done it before it shouldnt be a prob. 3. Usually you can buy tubes/cans of grease that say "caliper grease" on it......i always do it on the brakes i replace because there is a small chance they could get a little noisy if you dont..... 4.if there are anti squeel shims on there when you take the old pads off....i would def. reuse them if not get new ones.....

Cam seals
EVOthis replied to EVOthis's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
alright got everything back together and it runs just fine...a little rich because the bat. was disconnected and i think the PCM lost its Keep Alive Memory so after a little bit of driving i think it should go back to normal......thanks for all your help fellas...so far the cam seals/ orings are a success....
