1998 Subaru Legacy Questions & Answers
Subaru Rattle on driver side
have the front suspension checked out
most likely a failed suspension arm rubber has failed
check fro failed engine mounts
Radiator Fan always on.
Doesn't take a technical engineer to find what could be the problem ! Looking a wiring diagram I see three relays that are used to turn on the cooling fans ! One of the relay's contacts are stuck closed causing Battery voltage to be applied to one of the fans when you turn the key to the on position . Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop .
Why is my AWD subaru only 2WD?
you will likely need to replace the following:
Duty C Solenoid
Transfer Clutch Pack
Reduction gear
All of these parts are located in the tail end of the 4EAT automatic transmissions. The reduction gear can separate from its hub and damage the above mentioned parts too.
Does it have a starter relay and, if so, where is it located?
USUALLY A BOX UNDER THE HOOD. YOU CAN SOMETIMESA TELL BY PULLING ANOTHER ONE THAT IS EXACTLY STHE SAME, SUCH AS HEADLIGHTS OR WIPER. IF YOUR HEADKAMPS OR WIPER WORK, AND THEY USE THE SAME RELAY, TRY PULLING THE STARTER RELAY AND SWAPPING WITH ONE YOU KNOW WORKS.
How do I fix brake light no light in rear
First check the fuses. Especially if all the lights in back are out at once. Then check the bulbs. Sometimes you have to replace bulbs that still look good, but just don't make good enough contact anymore.... A friend of mine had to replace all the bulbs to get any of them to work again. I have no explanation as to why.... Good Luck.... Sometimes on these older cars, just pulling the fuse and replacing it a time or two - cleans it off and gets it to work again.... Much like dirty battery cables can stop the flow of electricity, so can dirty connectors on a fuse, or bulb.
Why does my 98 subaru legacy sputter and die?
Clean your MAF sensor and throttle body. If it's dirty it will send wrong voltage to ECU, running either too lean or too rich, most likely too rich and flooded the fuel injectors.
How come my wagon won't start but only sometimes?
Sounds like weak connection somewhere,I would start by one at a time,clean by scraping the prongs of each fuse. If this does not resolve your issue go by one of the parts houses that provide free electrical and charging system checks
Why is there no drive to my rear wheels in my Subaru AWD?
IT is a constant all wheel drive car which means that all 4 wheels are driven all of the time . There is a differential in the centre that allows for different speeds between front and back while driving such as going over bumps . When you engage the 4wd button you are in effect locking that centre diff so that both front and rear axles drive together. If you have it so that 4wd is not engaged (selected ) and there is no drive action to the rear wheels that then indicates that the shaft in that centre diff is not connected in the side gears ( stripped /broken) and it has been in 4wd all the time so that it could be sold
