[Cooling Fans blowing fuses]

Hi, I have a 1998 Subaru Legacy outback, 2.5

 

When driving in town today I noticed it started to overheat. I pulled over and found that neither cooling fan in front of the radiator was working. I pulled the fuse cover under the hood and the fuse for the fan on the drivers side was blown. I replaced it and that fan worked. I looked under the dash and found the fuse for the passengers side fan was blown. I replaced that one and was on my way. I just got home from work and I popped the hood and neither fan was working. I checked the fuses and they were both blown again.

 

Any ideas?

 

What do these two fans have in common with each other that would blow both fuses?

 

Thanks in advance!

[Knock Sensor]

That's where I thought it was but I still I didn't see it there before. I will look again tonight. thanks

[Knock Sensor]

I got the good ole CEC light, went to autozone and the code reads knock sensor. I can't seem to find the little bugger on my engine. Could someone give me a clue. 1998, 2.5 liter, Legacy Outback wagon.

 

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Why would the tranny smell burnt at that mileage? Is there a known problem?

I am going to look at a 2003 Subaru Legacy Sedan with 2.5L H4 tonight. It has 36000 miles and I think I can get it for about $12,000. What are the known problems to look for on this year of car?

 

Thanks for your help

[ECM clearing]

Hi, can someone tel me how to clear the computer codes with out a scan tool on a 98 suby legacy outback? I have been having some issues with it hesitating and while working on it I got the cel on because I was messing with some of the sensors and now I may have to take it to the dealer and I dont want to mislead them and waste money on parts I don't need so I want to make sure the codes are gone. Thanks

Maybe, but I think I might have got a slight smell of gas when it did this. I need to let it cool and see if I can get it to do it more. If it was a gas smell, what would make it run to rich?

[Dies when step on the gas? Help]

Did that, nothing, can't hear any vac. leaks or see anything that is cracked, etc. . It runs great other then that.

I started suddenly. It happened again when my wife left work last night. I drove it last night and did several things to try to get it to do it again but it wouldn't. Today I drove it and it seems to only do it when the engine is cold. It fast idles fine, but maybe there is a problem when it switches from fast idle to normal idle. It only sputtered for a second this morning so it's hard to find. Any ideas?

I have a 1998 Subaru wagon with a 2.5, it has 68000 miles. My wife drove it to work today and most of the time it was fine. But a few times when she was stopped, and would step on the gas a bit, it would die, or almost die. It would start right back up. It drives fine at highway speeds and has been perfect up unitl this morning. ANY ideas??? Thanks

[Anyone have extended warranty?]

Hi All,

I just bought a 2001 Suabru Outback Limited Sedan with 29000 miles on it and I am researching extended warranties. I have heard of a lot of companies out there that are tough to work with when it comes to claims. Anyone out here have any experiance or thoughts on this?

 

Thanks
