Hey Guys,

So recently, I made a discovery that there is meant to be a FWD Fuse, I suspect. On the sticker it says FWD, and there isn't a fuse in that spot, but it is a spot to put a fuse, Now there has never been a fuse in the time I've owned the car, but the other interesting point is that there is no Amp stated. So I don't know if it suppose to be fused or not.


Does any body know if it is or and what size?

Is it Front wheel or Four wheel? I assume Front.


Thanks guys.

It is for diagnostic purposes only. There is no normally no fuse in there. If you insert a fuse, it disables drive to the rear wheels and your Subaru becomes FWD

Yep some autos have the provision to fit a fuse and disengage the rear end Im not sure what size.

fwd = front wheel drive in this case

Yep only works on auto AWD subies. Doesn't work on manuals :( Wish it did, I wanna do FWD skiddies in my Foz :rolleyes:

Any fuse I think will work. 20 or 30amp, around there.

Oh, too easy. Reason I was confused was because the R32 has a fuse to engage all wheel drive. Mate was trying to use a fuse to teat it, but We ran out of time. Sounds good to me.

Cheers

Pretty much leave it alone unless your rear tail shaft shits itself.
