couldn't find the connector at the firewall. but when i applied direct 12volt power source to the low beam or high beam the lights came on so im guessing that that connector is just fine. it also made me 100% sure its between the fuse for the light switch and the fuse for the high and low beam. but the only thing that could make both of those go out would be the switch. Also, the gauge cluster back lighting does not come on when i pull the light switch. So now im pretty sure that the switch is bad... this is fun:grin:

what does everyone think about a chevy 350 swapped 80 brat?

oh, ok. Ya understandable. and I have been looking around the brat for connectors or other things wrong but i can't seem to find much. At least nothing with the headlight wiring but i know something is wrong. If i am getting power at the Light switch fuse does that mean that the switch is good. maybe the switch is bad, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the switch out or how to get stuff out of the way, specifically the vent tubing.

well this forum claims 80's on the title( Older Generation of Subarus: 80's/XT/Loyales...). figured it would be the best location for an 80 brat lol

Ya, i spent a lil time looking around the site. It's set up quite the same as other Subie boards but i like how simple this one is.

ya, i know what you are talking about. When i first bought the Brat i found that problem. Reconnected all the wires then it worked no prob for about a week. then it went back to the low only or none at all again. So now im sitting there scratching my head at what it could be lol. Im gunna start checking all the connections i can tomorrow.

Hi, I just joined this site but have been an ongoing Subaru enthusiast for a couple years and i have been on other forums since 2007. I have a 2003 Wrx and a 1980 Brat 4x4 1.6L gl Im in Nampa, Id and have been seeing alot of Soobs but no one on forums.. Ryan~

ok so i own a 1980 Subaru Brat 1.6L 4x4. I have read alot about headlight issues on them and I have found myself in no ones shoes. I have power going through the Light switch fuse but no power on either Head upper or lower and no power at the actual lamps. I have read about the recall but my question is, if I have power at the light switch fuse what is the purpose of the recall? all the recall calls for is making a new fuse location off the fuse panel. Basically taking the wires off the back of the fuse panel and making an inline fuse. If you have had the problem I am having can you help me? Ever since i bought the car the lights worked on and off occasionally, but now nothing at all. I did notice the heat problem with the recall though. The connector on the back of the fuse panel is melted a lil bit, just some plastic is deformed. Also, another question. Does anyone know where I can buy a new speedometer cable? Mine broke about four inches up the cable from the transmission lol. Thanks Ryan
