What's the problem? (sorry you couldn't make it on the weekend)

Have you checked your cabin filter?

 

[NoShoes]

the fan is not working no air con no heater it works randomly doesn't work for days the it will work for a short time then stop again

 

[Ratbag]

Sounds like one or more of the armature poles in the fan motor is cactus.

Either that, or a dodgy electrical connection/fuse somewhere.

 

[Kevin]

Does it work on manual?

I remember that older subies had resistors that went crook as a common problem.

 

[NoShoes]

No doesnt work on manual or auto

Hmmmm - I've searched over at subaruforester.org and this may help:

I had the subi in today to get fixed and it was the blower fan motor not covered under warranty $600 fitted

 

[Kevin]

Ouch!

 

[NoShoes]

another update its not the blower motor,relay,resistor or fuse goes to auto electrician tomorrow

 

[Kevin]

Must be a dodgy connection "somewhere".
