Sublimejoe Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 What in the world is this over on japanparts? http://i.imgur.com/mfzho.png It says cargo fan and it sure does look like some sort of fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 It could be to pull cigarette smoke out of the car. I know they have weird stuff like this in Taiwan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbtech Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 It is indeed a fan: http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/attachments/parts-accessories-performance/13599d1221102813-cargo-fan-outback-fan.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbtech Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 It could be to pull cigarette smoke out of the car. I know they have weird stuff like this in Taiwan. I was thinking wet dog smell. Also good if you're a mafia boss and have a dead hello-kitty in the back and need to hide the smell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublimejoe Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Very interesting. I wonder where you can get ahold of that cargo fan switch, normally the ECO button is there on the power folding mirror switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbtech Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 On my XT I just have the wiper heater button at the far left position. For my Car PC projector I picked up another switch bank - it has the wiper heater @ far left and the VDC-OFF button at far-right where that fan switch is. The buttons aren't available on their own, they're part of the switch block and I guess the switch block is tailored to each model car based on the features.

BAC5.2 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 That fan looks like it dumps out of the breather vent behind the kick panel... Neat! Not optimal placement, but it'd probably do a halfway decent job of pumping hot air out of the greenhouse. If I got that, I'd wire it to a solar panel on the rear quarter window. That way it can just sit there and run all the time (unless the switch is off), without draining the battery. Hmmm.... too much money for something you could reasonably accomplish with a 12v computer fan and a plastic vent grill/tubing. You could do a budget version for just a few dollars. Heck, you could take advantage of the vents on both sides of the car for MUCH less than the cost of this kit. And you wouldn't lose the cubby on the drivers rear (where I keep emergency flares).
