stngllhm Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 can't say whether they are the same but the blower moter should be behind the glove box stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 they are not the same. it's pretty easy to change the blower motor....I have a spare if you need one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stngllhm Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 i had i problem like that on my 84 wagon got tired of trying to find the problem so i just ran a new power wire and used a toggle switch to turn my fan on and off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86subaru Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 yes i have done that before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 did you check the switch? I had a similar issue with my very first ea81 wagon, and they (service place, before I did my own work) ran a new wire to feed the fan, but the stock switch still worked....

Cougar Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Get a test light and start checking for power at the switch and the wiring to the motor while the switch is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86subaru Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 already tested for power at the switch , i just ran a wire from the fuse box to the greem/ white wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 One thing to be aware of is some heater circuits use the speed switch to complete the ground portion of the circuit. I'm not sure how this one is designed but it may be like that. If that is so then there should be power at the motor but it won't work until the ground portion is completed.

idosubaru Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 fan speed controls and air control buttons can cause these problems sometimes. but i'm not familiar with brats or EA81's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
