I solved the problem. My EGR light came on around the same time that the 15 amp fuse was staying Hot. I reset the EGR light by unplugging the blue wire way above the fuse box, and then plugging in the green wire (dangling right next to the blue wire) which resets the EGR light to go on in another 60,000 miles. After doing this I thought why not try the 15 amp fuse again. I put the fuse in and dome light came on, Map lights worked and Brake lights worked! One thing I would recommend would be a set of circuit breakers 15 amp, 20 amp, etc., they are cheap (Less than $5.00) and it will allow you to check each light on the circuit that keeps blowing. The circuit breaker will blow when too hot, then reconnect when it cools down. Great addition to have in your tool box for electrical problems. Also check all the fuses with a voltmeter. Thanks everyone for your help!

SUCCESS!!! Problem solved!!! Thank you TURBONE for the links you sent me. In order to reset the EGR light on your dash, I went above the fuse box way up there, there is a blue wire connected. Right next to it is a green wire dangling (Of the same size). I simply disconnected the blue wire then plugged in the green wire. Put everything back together and the EGR light was off! By plugging in the green wire I reset the EGR light to turn on in another 60,000 miles from now. Very little room to reach in up there though...But it's fixed!!! This also fixed my fuse short as well

Hi, I have an 85 Subaru GL Wagon. Recently the EGR Light came on at exactly 180,000 miles. There is a way to reset it, Can anyone explain how?

Thanks for the posts, The problem I have is this: When I put the new 15 amp fuse in,it immediatly blows out! So the circuit must be staying open - HOT somewhere. I put a fuse in and watched the interior light flicker for a split second. I found the brakelight switch, I doubt that it's faulty. So, like Cougar mentioned, maybe the ECC is the problem? Anyone know where the ECC is located? I hope to get the brake lights working real soon, I have made little progress in pinpointing this problem.

Hello, Is this a common problem with a common fix? Does anyone know the reason for this? The 15 amp fuse that keeps blowing out is for ECC, Room, Stop. Stop is the brakes, Room is the interior, so what is ECC? I thought to look at the brake pedal switch, but dont know where it is.
