Transmission resistor

I have read my transmission codes and the only one it was putting out was code 11. The TCU code chart said that was solenoid A, but I have been told that a faulty resistor behind the battery will throw code 11 to. I checked my resistor today and it was way out of spec. So I went and talked to my local Subaru dealer to find out how much a new one was. Get ready for this one....$117.50. I couldn't believe it. I saw in the how-to-do documents that you can buy a 25w 15ohms resistor and just replace it yourself, but I can't find one anywhere. Anybody else gone threw this. Also will that resistor being bad mess anything up? Thanks

Several members (including me) have extra OEM resistors they would be willing to sell you. The resistor is $56.05 from subaruparts.com and even cheaper from Auburn Subaru.

Have you measured your resistor yet.

If the resistor is well below specification, line pressure is reduced. The specified resistance is from 9 - 15 ohms. The usual is 12 ohms.

Refer my post in "AWD problem" thread for full details.

Yes I measured it yesterday it was 1M ohm. Yeah the price quote I was givin was from Tacoma Subaru in WA. I would just like to get it fixed for a lot less than they wanted. Thanks for all the responses.
