Re: heat doesnt work.. help!!

From the How To section above right:

http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/files/How-To/38556.pdf

This is the under hood main fuse board.

Bottom right is a 10 A fuse, and in the same line to the left you will see a relay for the aircon compressor.

Remember though fuses don't blow for no reason, usually. Even if you replace this fuse and it's then working you should still try and find why the fuse or relay blew in the first place.

You have blown the 20AMP fuse labeled Cig/Mirror. The common short is in the sun visors wire. Don't ask me how I know. But before you replace that fuse a million times check these wires and if they are shorting up there cap them. Otherwise you run the risk of catching the car on fire. Let me know if this worked for you.

*EDIT*

you will need to unscrew the two Phillips head bolts on each sun visors. you will need to pop off the little plastic cover.

I'll provide a write up in a bit on how to fix this in detail.

Let me finish putting my pass side seat in. I'll have it written up in about an hour or so.
