1998 Legacy 2.5 Electrical issues

Featured Replies

Hello.

I've got a 1998 Legacy Outback.  It runs great.  However, that's about it. 

The car was in a slight front clip accident(left  fender, headlight, and Control Arm).

What works:  Headlights/taillights, blinkers, Dash lights.

 

What doesn't work:  Brake lights, Dome light, radio(2 months old), AC blower motor, has ABS light.

 

What I've done:  replace relay, Climate control panel, blower resistor; blower motor works with 12V on it.

Checked all the fuses I can.

There is voltage to the Blower relay, but not down the line.

 

Flashed the ABS codes and it indicated left rear area; replaced ABS sensor and checked tone ring; no go.  Also replaced front ABS sensor; no go.

 

Note:  AC compressor comes on when blower motor is turned on; just no blower motor.

 

Anything else I should try?  The car drives fine(now pulls to the right; needs alignment.

 

Thanks

jeff

There main wire harness for the interior is behind the left fender. Possible there was wire damage caused by the accident. Did you replace the fender or did someone else?

I replaced the fender; I did beat the core support down a bit to fit the fender better.
