1999 Outback Stuck on Defrost
lmdew replied to Johnny Subaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI'm not sure that the 95 and 99 controlers are not exactly the same. Yes the board is part of the control panel. You can replace just the borad. It's not hard, you just have to take your time. Small plastic lock tabs hold it in.

1999 Outback Stuck on Defrost
lmdew replied to Johnny Subaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIf the linkage/doors are moving freely, the board in the controller is most likely the cause. I've swapped out many of the boards over the years. Just take your time.

1999 Outback Stuck on Defrost
lmdew replied to Johnny Subaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXHappy to meet you at the Laurelwood Public house if you need help. Just a couple hour flight out from Colorado. Great fish tacos and Workhorse IPA. I was just there last week.

1999 Outback Stuck on Defrost
lmdew replied to Johnny Subaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe temp control is a cable that routes down to the passenger side of the center counsel. you can look up and see it move as you slide the temp lever. The vent control is electrical, push button control. Yes, sometimes it's the board in the controller that fails. You can change out the board. It goes down to an actuator on the drivers side of the center counsel. Pull the lower kick panel and then crawl up under there and you will see the linkage. I've had the linkage fail, the actuator or the control board. You Pull and Pay yards are your friends. Poke around there first is always a good idea.

lmdew replied to q240z's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX1+ broken CV joint. Parking brake on. Have someone hold the brake on, and shift into gear. Look to see if a CV joint/axle is spinning. They may have to give it a little gas.

lmdew replied to lmdew's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXRT Rotator Cuff Surgery the end of August kept me out of the waves. The beach was great. Can't beat PMRF Barking Sands. I'd walk 2 hours and see 3 people on a busy day.

99 2.2 possible HG leak 213K
lmdew replied to lmdew's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNew radiator should be here Monday. Sorry to say, as I thought I believe the HG are leaking. It's still pushing coolant into the overflow and not pulling it back in. I'm going to put the new radiator in and another bottle of Subaru conditoner and let them know it will most likely need a different engine. Up to them what they want to do. Larry

demonic caliper bracket bolts
lmdew replied to brus brother's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXMove to Colorado or a nother rust free location! It's almost a joy to pull parts in the yard after growing up in Wisconsin.

99 2.2 possible HG leak 213K
lmdew replied to lmdew's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI put a bit of JB weld on the radiator. Leak has slowed enough to run it. I'm going to flush the engine to get the coolant cleaner out and then put in new antifreeze and the Subaru coolant conditioner. I'll run it to see if the HG are OK. If so, I told them they would need a new radiator.

99 2.2 possible HG leak 213K
lmdew replied to lmdew's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWell, after a Holiday in Kauai I got it all put back together yesterday. I added Prestone Cleaner to the cooling system as the old coolant was very dirty. Ran great for 15 miles, temp gauge steady as could be. I was going to head out and put another 30 miles on it and the temp gauge started climbing. I turned around and went back home. Fans kicking on high even though the temp gauge was back to normal. Leaking water, coolant from the radiator. I shut it down and pulled the fans to get a better look. Top row of the radiator on passenger side leaking pretty good. I don't know if the previous owner had stop leak in the coolant system. Needs a radiator for sure, but I still think the HG are going. I let the owner know we could try a new radiator, but if its the HG I'd recommend a different engine. This one has been overheated and run low on oil to many times. I feel like it's one step forward and two steps back. Just trying to help them out. Waiting to hear what they want to do.

99 2.2 possible HG leak 213K
lmdew replied to lmdew's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXHad a new T-belt and pulley in stock. I hit the yard for the T-Belt cover rear sections. Man I hate folks who don't do good maintenance. In the yard, the Drivers cam bolt was way over torques. 3' 1/2" breaker bar to get it off. I used the old t-belt in the yard to wrap it around the pulley and tie it to the frame. Nuts. Then when I uplled the water pump off the legacy, they had used a paper gasket. Hour later the flange was ready for the new Subaru metal gasket and water pump. Oil pump changed as the two lower t-belt cover tabs for the bolts were broken off. More poor maintenance. New Cam seals today and it should be back together. Good coolant system flush. It had the dirty dirty dirty coolant for sure. She should be back on the road.
