hello,

I have a MY95 impreza STI RA.

The heater in the cabin works occasionally. What can that be?
The light in the roof does not work, neither the cd-player.

Everything has been working before.

I have checked all the fuses and they are fine. I have also checked that there is power in the roof where the bulb is. The bulb is ok.

Does anybody know what can be wrong? any relays or something that controll the heater? where is that then?

Hope anybody knows! Thanks.

If it's anything like my bug I checked all of the under dash fuses and was stumped only to find another fuse under the bonnet

start swapping a few fuses for ones you know work. sometimes they look ok, but aren't.

As above: sometimes they LOOK fine, but aren't. Or use a fuse tester.

today after taking of the battery poles and cleaning them a little the light in the roof started to work. But its just working sometimes, and its very weak. could it be a grounding problem? the other problems are stil there.

It sounds like corrosion on a chassis earth connection. You need to methodically go through them all cleaning with sandpaper both the crimps and the body panel they bolt to so they are shiny. Get yourself some copper based grease and smear some over the bare metal then bolt together. The grease will prevent further corrosion and as it has bits of copper in it will help conductivity. Don't be too shy about applying it you can always wipe any excess off once tightened. Also clean the battery connections and smear with vasalene once cleaned to help prevent corosion at the battery terminals.

yes, it does looks like its earthing problem. will sandpaper all the connections tomorow. and get some copper paste.

slasherkill

sandpaper and paste did not help! now what???? it helped like 1% as the cd-player now actually had some light for a second or two.

stil no luck. anybody else got any ideas? I think I will just get a cable from the battery to the fan motor.
