Just something to check before you take it in. I have an 03 WRX, not very familiar with the other models. The relay for the heater blower is to the left of the in cabin fuse box. I pulled mine out and it had actually melted...$40 part from Auto Zone, local dealership....quoted $450. Not to say that this will be your problem, but something to check before you take it in.

Does anyone have pictures of how to get to the resistor? I have the same problem as a few of you (nothing on 0-3, full power on 4) and am going to pop it out to see if replacing it fixes my problem.

It's the resistor for sure, happens a lot in the cars we fix I doubt it's any different for any other models.

I had this problem a few months back, blower resistor board was burnt out. Now the fan is popping fuses, since I replaced it. lovely thing is that the motor is an assembly and cost $227 at the dealer. ugh.

2012 Subaru ImprezzaSport Lim- heat/AC Fan makiing noises
Hi, new to this site.
Seems to be of great help so far. Our Subaru is making odd noises when we turn the heat up. Monitoring it to see what happens. Out of country, so no warranty available. Will possibly have to take in or order parts myself and take in. Might even have to repair myself. Heater still works in all respects but making awful noises for a car with only 25K miles on it. Do not know at this point if it is the fan, motor or? This site can help me troubleshoot. Thanks in advance |

Had this problem with mine not to long ago. Same issues: Started off 1&2 speed didn't work then all speeds didnt work. Ended up being my resister. Went to my local oreilly's and picked this up. Its all good now and I am nice and warm. Good luck everyone.

Had the same problem. Replaced resistor, worked well for 2 weeks, then it went again. Replaced resistor again, won't blow on any speed. Disconnect resistor and Fan, still blowing fuses. Replaced switch. Still blowing fuses. trace wiring, all wiring looks good. Its a 2008 2.5i. Its driving me crazy. Can't even use my car this winter.

Mine screams when I start the car in the morning but then the noise goes away. I will be replacing it once it warms up a bit. I just wonder how hard it is to remove. I think its under the pass side of the dash.

Sounds like high amp draw. Could be the motor itself. Unless you wired the remote start to the blower circuit for power that shouldn't matter.

2007 WRX wagon blower motor OUT
I have a 2007 WRX wagon (119K) and been having an issue with the blower motor inconsistently working and worsening over 6,000 miles. In 2007, I'm told Subaru made the blower motor an integral part of the assembly requiring the whole system to be replaced. I've looked online and found an OEM part #72223FE020 for as low as $200, $100 used but the donor car had 90K so prob not worth it if mine went out at 108K. It's simple enough to do yourself, but I have been quoted at 2.5 hours labor so I'll probably do it myself. I'll upload pictures when I'm done!
If someone has a used assembly with less than 50K, I'd buy it... |

It can be done in about an hour. It is a one piece part since 03.

I had a bad connection on the wiring harness for the resistor in my old Saab.
it would heat up and melt the harness plastic separating 2 connections and then BAM resistor = kaput |

Use a multimeter. Unplug the fan power connector and use a multimeter in the 20amp setting. And put it on the pins in the connector. If you are on the 4th speed you should get a amp reading and the fan should work. If it is anywhere near 20amp the motor has high (mechanical)resistance causing a higher amp draw.(I think the fan is on a 15amp circuit)
Now switch speeds and see where the amp draw goes. It should change with the settings. Switch to voltage now and do the same test at the fan. The highest speed should be 12v and it should go down from there. There is a write up on this on the first page of this thread. Last edited by Itsawagon37; 10-22-2014 at 07:48 AM. |

Blower Motor Failure and how I fixed it
Hi all,
New to this forum. Just got a 2006 Subi Impreza Outback Sport and it came with a failed Blower Motor/Fan. I did follow the troubleshooting guide in the forum and it is now fixed. Here is a breakdown of what I found: 1. Blower motor did not work on any setting (not the the resistor). 2. I disconnected the blower motor elec plug and checked it for voltages on different settings. It appeared normal. 3. I applied 12v to the fan directly and got no response initially. I gave the motor and light tap with a rubber mallet and it started moving VERY slowly. It would stop after about 3 secs. 4. Replaced fan assembly (not cheap, $285 at dealer). It now works! |

Yeah its not cheap at the dealer.
Glad the testing worked out. And you were able to fix it. Sent from my XT1080 using NASIOC mobile app |
