    Added some colour to the previous drawing :

    I'm working towards to making a Scale Paper Model, so every one can have one - you just need to print it out & assemble it ... :)

     

     

     

    Give me a few days to work it out though ... :cool:

    Wipers intermediate fix where to find ?

    in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...

    Posted · Edited by Bantum

    Not aware of any 'how to' fix thread on here - but they shouldn't be that hard to pull apart & fix + there’s few things you can do to help :

     

    Firstly - What model is your car ? - As not all Subaru's came with intermittent wipers ... :huh:

     

    Secondly - Re-soldering the board should help as they do tend to 'dry out' over time, just check with a multi meter for correct ratings etc. + check for burnt out components as well ... ;)

     

    Thirdly - You can clean-up & regrease the wiper mechanism / motor to make sure its running smoothly ... :ph34r:

    Headlight Relay

    in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...

    Yep - its just a matter of 'process of elimination' & you will eventually find the culprit ... ;)

     

    If you trace / find all items linked to the lights like : wiring, plugs, switches & fuses and test them all for continuity etc. you should end up finding the sucker ... !

     

    P.S. - Have you checked that the actual lights work by themselves ... ? ie: disconnect and run via a test lead to battery ... :ph34r:

    Sorry I forgot to mention the manual is a large file, so if you are on dial up - it will take a while to down load ... :(

     

    P.S. - I've sent you a PM re wiring diagram Leorob ... ;)

     

    Add : In the mean time try this one ( in two parts ) as taken from the Clymer A186 manual :

    You'll note there are No - repeat None, Nudda, Nill, Zero, Zilch, Zip, F'K all - Nope still no headlight relays for this model ... :blink:

     

    As to the Fusible links, if you follow their paths they do eventually find their way to lights - it just goes through a few other things like switches, regulators & the like first ... :huh:

    I think you'll find those 'nut' items shown previously are the Turn signal & Flasher units ... :P

     

    As to the main headlight relay - I'm pretty sure most of the earlier EA71/81 models never had them, they just ran off the head light switch - see wiring diagram ... ( Will post here when I find it  )

    Edit : Warning...!  large file ... !

    Take a gander at the wiring for your model & you'll see what I mean ...

     

    Hence the need to 'add' a relay to sort overheating issues with the switch ... ;)

     

    Add : here is example of adding a relay for spotties :

    More info can be found here : http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24558&highlight=headlight+wiring+diagram

    Same deal will apply to main headlights ... :)

    There are other higher rated connectors out there too !

     

    I'd rewire the High Beam to a new circuit from a dedicated relay - as it stops the heat building up / reduces current draw in the cabin.

     

    P.S. - If your after the larger Connector, you could try the local wreckers to see if the have something similar.
