Trace the power, and test the fan. Run a jumper to the fan connector and see if it runs, then pull the thermo-sensor and see if it's contacts close when you heat it (heat gun or torch). Best to use a heat gun and a k-type thermocouple to run it's temp up and monitor it to check it's closing temp. Check for power at the fuse and see if the fuse is good.... ect. It's a very basic circuit. and second i have a 4 inch lift and when i break there is popping like my crossmember is sliding back or my sway bar is creaking has anyone had this happen and fixed it?.. Sure - something is loose. Everyone here with a lift has had that happen. Could be anything related to the lift or other repairs that have been done. Last time I had that problem it was the bolts that connect the leading rod to the passenger front control arm. Accelerating and stopping both resulted in "chunk"/"pop" sounds.

Spiffy Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 if I remember correctly my ea82 had a relay behind the passenger side strut tower that also worked the fan... there's 2 or 3 there that look the same... that and the thermo switch are where the problem will likely be... --Spiffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 At least you seem to have an eye for detail. Can't say I would have used that color, but it does look like you put some effort into it. For plastic, I like the Krylon Fusion stuff - I painted the "4WD" red lettering on my Brat mud flaps like 3 years ago and it's still going strong. Amazing stuff. It has a flexing agent in it that gives it a rubberyness so it doesn't crack when applied to plastics. Awesome stuff. Now rip up that ugly carpet and put down some shag!

True2Blue Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 I used the fusion paint I chose that color cause its really different and its a subaru color. I actually thought about cleaning my carpet and bedlining it. I think it would be a weird but cool look. Im doing the whole inside black and blue.

I put some new foam on it but it's bright yellow, maybe I should just paint the whole interior bright yellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
