Hi everyone. My blower fan isn't working on any speed setting. I have confirmed the blower fan itself is working by hooking it up directly to the battery. I have checked the two 15A fuses under the dash. Are there any other fuses or things I should check before I try and replace the relay?

Pretty sure these also still have a ballast resistor I believe it is called. I’ll try to find the location when I get home. But on the older models it’s down there at the blower fan box. The older ones have a ceramic type of application over three of the four resistor wires and the fourth is a straight load. That fourth one or your number four on your dashboard switch will always operate as I recall. 

Keep in mind I’m talking Loyale series and older. I probably have the parts from one of my parts cars but it’s one of those items I haven’t had to deal with yet. And now it looks like I’m stepping aside from the first gen Legacy for a while. 
 

Did you also post on FB ? I think I replied there. I’m in CT and will be blowing out decades of parts. My dedication is 1970s, first gen Legacy, and 2002-04 Legacy only. And I hand a few of the first gen Legs. Getting the boxes out these days and really hoping to unload it all or large lots for cheap. 
 

Cheers! 

Thanks Moosens. Sorry but that wasn't me on Facebook. I'm in Australia so it's a Subaru Liberty down here. Unfortunately it doesn't run on 1,2,3 or 4 setting. I've checked the two 15A fuses under the dash. But I'm not sure where to look next.  

You really need to figure out where you’re losing power. Did you actually test the fuses? Are you getting power to the fuses? If you’re getting power to the fuses, are you power out of the fuse box? If so, are you getting power to the switch? Is power coming out of the switch? Check the various connectors, especially the ground.

Dig up the schematic.  Load, Ground and power.  Every circuit has all three elements.  Your meter can lie to you if the circuit is not under load, i.e. you disconnect the fan and test for voltage at the plug.  You can sometimes back probe the plug to test under load.  Otherwise the LOADPro is a great addition to your toolbox.

G’day @libertyherb123!

Checked the fuses under the bonnet? There might be some over near the battery (from memory) in a black box. Under the lid will tell you what fuse and relay is responsible for what. 

Did the fan ever work for you? Silly question but maybe this car is new to you and you’re checking through your list of issues to fix… 

Salada mate!

My sincere thanks to all of you. I followed all your suggestions and it ended up being the relay. What a nightmare to get access to! Ended up getting it out eventually and replaced it, and success, the blower fan is now working again! Thank you again everyone.
