Heater fan troubles

Featured Replies

Yeah, it's me again! 90 Subaru Loyal 2wd wagon - My heater selectors no longer seem to work. When I turn on the fan and push any button, only the front dash vents blow. Defrost or floor do not change the flow. This makes for great pain since I live in the mountains of the NW and my windows get fogged up on the inside real easy.

Any suggestions to get my defroster working would be greatly appreciated.

check the vacumn lines that go to the passenger side strut tower to a canister then into the cabin. Also, you can reach up by the gas pedal and you will feel the air diaphram linkage, I think its the upper one, push the linkage in and it should go on to defrost.

 

May not fix the prolbem, but hey, at least you'll have defrost

Wow! Thanks for the speedy reply torxxx! I'll try it this morning (and I really need defrost this morning)!

Thanks again torxxx, the vacuum hose was disconnected. I reconnected it and the heater controls worked.
