Default Rally Car Stopped with Electrical Fault

I am hoping that we have some clever Subauru people out there!

My Impreza Classic Rally Car stopped on Stage 2 of The Nicky Grist Stages with an electrical fault. (The Rev counter dropped to zero & the car stopped)

I initially traced the problem to no power supply to the Fuse Box inside the car. This is fed by a thick Black & Red wire from the Fuse Box under the bonnet. However, there is no power to the Fusible Link. If I put power to the Black & Red wire in the fuse box under the bonnet, the car runs! (See attached photo)



Anyone know where the power comes from?

Any suggestions appreciated.


Gary

If I put power to the Yellow Terminal - The car will run

Have you tested it?

And you should have power on the other pin, so if you have power on the other pin and it wont start when the fuse is in its the fuse.

If you dont have power on the other pin, its probably a burnt out wire/loose connection under the box

Thank you for your help but yes, I have tested the fuse & no there is no power to the other 'pin' which was the point of my original post. I am hoping someone can tell me where the feed comes from.
