Aircon and blower fan
Hi all, apologies for my noobness up front.
Just got myself a 1998 Subaru Impreza Terzo (No. 62). It's a little rough around the edges and I am going to have to get my hands dirty to fetch it up to scratch..... It's been a while. The first issue which I would like to tackle is the blower/aircon. When I got the car, the previous owner had removed the aircon belt under the bonnet (he said because it increases performance). However, the interior blowers dont seem to work and I was wondering whether this is the reason or whether these are completely seperate issues? Thanks in advance.:notworthy |
I'd start by checking the fuses first mate, if they can be confirmed as working/good then go from there to stuff like relays and connections at the motor itself. Does it work right up at maximum speed?
|
Thanks Piehole.
They dont blow at all on any setting. Do you know whether the blowers and aircon are the same? I.e. If I replace the aircon belt, the blowers will work? |
No mate, the blower should work just fine without the A/C. Someone had actually removed the A/C from my classic completely and my blower worked fine. Sounds like a fuse may be missing or blown. I was thinking maybe the resistor pack that controls the fan speed may have been faulty but will usually allow the fan to run at maximum speed even if faulty.

Right-o.
Think I'll need to pick up a haynes manual or similar and do the checks one by one. Thanks for the advice. |
Unfortunately there's no Haynes manual but look on http://ken-gilbert.com/impreza-manuals for some wiring diagrams and fuse location/identification.
|
That's great, thanks.

There's not a lot for uk cars so you'll have to make do with the Australian diagrams like I did.
