My 78 Leone Runs & Drives. I need it to go to a good home. Its on craigslist here: https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/d/1978-subaru-leone/6318139708.html

My wife's 78 Leone's headlights stopped working suddenly. The fusible links are good, but for some reason there is no power at the fuse panel. The top 3 fuses have no power coming into them. I have the manual but it's sparse and doesnt tell me where the power goes after the fusible links. Naturally, there is no power at the switch either. Is there a load reduction relay that could be bad or something else in between? I have been trying to figure this out for months. We live way in the country and no one around here works on Subarus, especially early ones. Please help so my wife can drive her beloved car!

If you're key is stuck in the On position, (wont turn left) this is caused by the tumblers inside being rusty as all get out and loose. They fall into position and won't move back to allow the key to turn back. Take some good penetrant (WD 40 will work but something silicone based is better) and squirt it liberally into the ignition. Tap on the key firmly but lightly with a hammer being sure to keep it square and straight so as not to break the key off. After a couple knocks you should see the key go in a fraction. Use Pliers to rotate back to the left. I have used this method multiple times and works every time. I recommend getting a new ignition or having this one re-keyed at this point.
