Hey everyone, first post here. This seems like the best forum on these cars, so I figured maybe I'd get an answer here, since no one has chimed in on nasioc.
I just picked up an 03 Forester XT. Love the hell out of this thing so far, but the heat and/or AC seem to ONLY blow out of the defrost vents and the side vents (on the ends of the dash).
Blower works in all speeds, the heat does work (it gets hot as hell), and when I key on and turn the selector knob, I can hear the motor moving but ONLY when I switch it back & forth from floor or defrost. It does nothing when I move it to bi-level or vents.
You can hear it blowing like crazy behind the dash, and the speeds all work correctly on the defrost, but that's it.
The car just had a new radiator, head gaskets, intake gaskets, coolant flush and Subaru thermostat.
A friend told me the actual controls may have went bad, but I'm not too sure, I need to get out there with a multimeter. I've searched online for days and can't really find a solution, although a bunch of other people have the same problem.
Any help or pointing in the right direction is appreciated
