does any one know where i can lay my hands on a subaru wrx hand book or the like
and can any read japanese because my fuse box is all in jap Cheers

 

I'd be interested in this as well.
No fuses gone yet but I'm sure they will!

To get an official handbook for any car I believe you need to go to a main dealer with you chasis No. etc

Is the WRX available through the standard dealer channels in any English speaking countries? Could be a source!

 

The Stables 4x4 (forgotten phone number, will post it if I can find it later) is an agent for jpnz, a new zealand company that translates manuals - they got one for my legacy gt-b, and do lots of others. However mine doesn't have the fuse locations in it

think the driver's footwell ones go like this (lifted from old posting) on jap cars...

viewed from top layout is like this...

1 2 3 4 5 6

7 8 9 10 11 12

13 14 15 16 17 18 19


where...

1 15A *Heater fan

2 15A *Heater fan

3 Empty

4 20A **** lighter
*"Remote controlled rear view mirrors"

5 10A *Tail light
*Parking light

6 15A *SRS Airbag

7 15A *Fog light

8 20A *ABS solenoid

9 15A *Radio
*Clock

10 10A *Rear Fog light (as if...)

11 15A *Engine ignition system
*SRS Airbag

12 10A *Illumination brightness control

13 15A *Wiper deicer (?)

14 15A *ABS control
*Cruise control

15 20A *Windshield wiper and washer
*Rear window wiper and washer

16 20A *Brake light

17 15A *Air conditioner

18 15A *backup light (reverse, I guess...)
*Turn signal light
*SRS Airbag warming light

19 20A *Accesory power socket
*Seat heater

FWIW - the under bonnet box by the battery has English notes on the lid - shows the layout as you look at the fuses from the battery side of the car facing the engine.
I have had fuses fail in engine compartment but not inside the car (?)


NB no spares inside the car - but some under the bonnet - best to buy a pack of mini spade fuses + keep in the glove box IMO

cheers,

Chizz,
Did you have any luck with the stables in getting a book for a wrx. AS I would be interested in one.

just come online now about to read my mail
that fuse box cant be the right one i have 21 fuses in my box

 

david
they still havent got back to me yet
do you have any idea about this fuse box???

 

Not a 100% sure but a mechanic friend of mine showed me a data book which didn't cover a wrx but a Uk legacy and the fuse box was the same layout. If that is of any help. Keep me posted if you have any more info on a WRX book.
