1991 Subaru Legacy - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Where is the subaru Legacy 1991 diagnostic plug?
It will depend on whether yours is an OBD system or not. OBD (On Board Diagnostics), didn't start to become a legal requirement until 1996 but some companies were fitting them earlier than that. First check your steering column for the green style connector on the attached image. If there is none like that, use a torch and get your head into the Driver's side footwell. Your looking for the black style connector, (red circle), on the attached image. It will be at about the height of the driver's knees at the door side. They are sometimes tucked up under the dashboard, out of sight, possibly behind a small flap or cover.
I hope this helps.

My 91 Subaru legacy AWD Auto doesn't shift w/o
sadly the early version of the 4 speed is prone to this type of failure. I have owed 4 that had this exact problem. the rear end of the main transmission case wears down at the transfer case and this causes an internal leak. The loss of fluid pressure causes the loss of function. I'm confident that a good transmission shop can fix this by using a case and parts from a newer version of the 4 speed auto

Automatic transmission goes forward in reverse in 1991 subaru Legacy
Try removing the shifter cable from the shifter arm on the transmission . Remove the arm from the shaft on the transmission and position the arm 180 degrees and install it back on the shaft. reconnect the shifter cable to the arm and see what is does then. Outside of that I don't know.

1991 Subaru Legacy L Station Wagon. Will not
Need to narrow down whether it's mechanical, as in a chipped starter gear or misaligned starter, or electrical connection. See if the starter solenoid is consistently getting power when you turn ignition key

1991 subaru legacy won't shift past 2nd gear
If this is a manual transmission you may have worn shifter parts. If it is an automatic you most likely will need an overhaul, most transmission repair shops give free inspections in hope they get the work of repairing what is wrong.

Grinding noise passenger side front
Check wheel bearing.
Check backing brake plate , sometimes it's bended and touching brake rotor.
If wheel bearing is bad , you may have same effect with backing plate , brake rotor touch backing plate.

How do you replace front the
wheel bearing?
Remove the caliper and rotor, undo the axle, ball joint and the two strut bolts, and take the entire knuckle off. The hub is pressed off, then a circlip removed to press the bearing out. You need a hydraulic press to do this job.

How do I change the heater resistor?
Remove the glove box, you will see two connectors held in with screws with wires going to them. The lower connector is the resistor pack. Disconnect the connector, remove the screws and the resistor pack will slide out when pulled on. Then put the new resistor pack in making sure the orientation is correct, install the screws, reconnect the connector and install the glove box. Then you should be all set to go. I hope this info helps!

Where is the heater resistor located on a 1991 subaru legacy?
Its in the under dash (right side) evaporator housing for the A/C system. It mounted on the outside case so access is fairly simple. Removal of two screws and an electrical connector is all it takes. You may have to remove glove box to see it for the first time. Air movement in that housing helps keep that resistor pack cooled down...They can get fairly hot so be careful.

Why does my 1991 subaru squeaks then cuts out for a sec.
If it's happening while driving and no brakes applied it's probably a belt causing the noise. There's a product available in most local auto shops that you can use to lubricate the belt. I think the actual name is "stop squeak" but I'm not positive.
If it's squeaking while breaking you may need new breaks or your breaks may be too tight. Another product exists for breaking squeals available in your local auto shop
