Where is the heater blower resistor located in a 2000 Subaru Outback? I've seen one reply in a forum saying it is to the left of the blower motor, but I don't know where that is either. I need to replace the resistor.

Some fixya user told me a website reliable-store it is very good.. I used it to repair my shredder it had some spark issue which wasn't easily fixed. you can go there and try

It is a black plastic unit with a small wire harness going to it. The unit is located on a heater hose close to the heater core near the firewall.

its under the glove box facing up. you remove it by dropping it down.
there should be 2-4 screws and the drain hose

Hey Tbird,here's a link to the blower motor,right by the blower motor is the blower motor resistor,you might want to check this first,if they go out then blower motor won't work,you can straight wire blower to see if works,if it doesn't then try resister,here's what it looks like.

The blower motor is located under the passenger side dash, behind the glovebox. Remove the glovebox to allow full access to the area, you'll see the fan housing and duct. There are two electrical connectors underneath, the one on the right is for the fan itself and the one to the left is the resistor. Unplug the resistor and take the screws out that hold it in, you can then remove it for testing/replacement

Subaru really doesn't call it a flasher or relay. They call it a hazard and turn signal module. I do not have a picture of it but below is a picture with an arrow as to where it is located and the picture below that on is what the plug or connector looks like and I can tell you that I'm about 95% sure it is a black plug/connector. I hope I was able to help....

The three most common problems for heater fans are

1. Burned-out blower motor resistor. This is usually located on the engine side of the firewall. Sometimes one section of the resistor is burned out but others are still good, so the blower only works on the highest speed settings. If you have a burned-out resistor, check the blower bearings to make sure they are not stiff and causing the motor to draw too much current.
2. The blower is actually working, but either the intake vent is plugged (I've seen vehicles with the heater core completely blocked by dirt, leaves and insects that came in through the vent), or the heater door is stuck closed.
3. The motor bearings have gone bad (see # 1). This can cause the fuse to blow, although the resistor usually fries first.

I'm not sure how your car's cabin environmental control system is fused. Check any fuse that might apply, such as Vent/AC, HTR, FAN, etc. Generally you can identify the state of a blade-type fuse by inspection without removing it. If you have a blown fuse, check the blower motor before wasting money on a new fuse that will probably blow. Like any fan, it's supposed to turn easily, and there should not be any roughness or side-slop in the bearings.

The resistor pack wires are usually attached to the same wires as the blower motor. I strongly recommend replacing the blower motor at the same time if possible. It's the blower motor that is usually the reason for the resistor pack going out. So if you put just the resistor pack in, and shortly after, it goes out again then you'll know the blower motor needs to be replaced.
I hope this info helps!~subyguru~

The blower speed controller is located under the hood on the right or passenger side on the heater housing just to the side of the heater hoses near the very back of the right cylinder head.
Yes that would cause the concern you are having.
