Can it be assumed that if the blower does not turn on at all, that the blower motor is faulty? And no need to replace the resistor. Is there an additional method to verify the resistor? Volt meter? So I can verify the switch is bad. 2001 Outback.
Hi Eric, Though you’ve likely done this, check the fuse panel to the left of the steering wheel. Check your manual but I think it’s slots 1 & 2. After that the switch is a likely culprit. You can’t access the resistor until it’s removed, so no obvious meter work there (though a method I don’t know may exist!). Getting at the switch shouldn’t be too bad, youtube that. Also make sure the fan assembly itself is moving freely; it can get gunked up and stop spinning. Let me know and I’ll help you further if possible. Either way, a partial dash removal may be in your near future. Good luck!
2009 Subaru Impreza. With your informational video I was able to successfully replace the blower motor resistor. Outstanding ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Excellent video. Thank you!
Thx! Helped me replace mine! 😁👍
Thanks!
