2011 Subaru forester a/c compressor relay: 1711651

The gpd research team has identified the A/C compressor relay is a common failure point on 2011 Subaru Forester models. The relay acts as an electrical switch that supplies power to the compressor clutch. Over time, its internal contact points can arc and wear, causing intermittent or complete compressor operation failure.

1711651 Multi-Purpose Relay Rectangular; 20A; 12 Volt; 4 Pin

Symptoms of a failing A/C relay:​

• A/C compressor won't engage
• Intermittent cooling
• No power to the compressor clutch

​When servicing a 2011 Subaru Forester, replace both the A/C compressor and the A/C compressor relay to help prevent repeat A/C concerns and ensure reliable compressor operation. A worn relay can cause repeat A/C failures and may contribute to compressor damage.
