Regarding the clutch limit switch...the plastic or rubber plug was completely gone. So I put an M5 SHCS in the hole and a jam nut to hold it in place. Should work out well. I am going to take a look at this clock spring thing-a-ma-jig. I have never encountered this component yet in my history of vehicle repair and maintenance.

Thank you guys. The bad clock spring idea sounds very plausible. Im going to have to give that a look! NorthWet, correct me if I'm wrong, but if the brake switch fails to get closed by releasing the brake pedal, wouldn't the tail lights always be on? Or are the tail lights signaled by a different input other than the brake switch? Thanks!

I hooked up my horn directly to the battery, the horn device does work and makes a beep. I hooked up test leads to each of the black wires (one at a time) going to the horn device and put the other lead of the multimeter to ground. I had a second person push the horn on the steering wheel; neither wire gave me any voltage. Also, my air bag light is on in my gauge cluster. I am starting to think that I dont have any power going to anything in the wiring harness that is on the steering wheel behind the air bag module. Just wanted to add more background. Thanks

Ok so I have a 98 subaru impreza l with the EJ22. Bought it with the cruise control not working. I found a limit switch on the clutch pedal. I took all that apart to find the switch was in good working order. The stick on the steering wheel (functions: Set/decel, Accel/Resume, and cancel). I took the cruise control stick out and tested the continuity with a digital voltmeter to find that the I do, in fact, get a continuity signal when I actuate the accel and decel funtions. My assumption then, is that the cruise control stick is also in working order. The cruise button on the dash lights up when I push it. I know you have to accelerate to 25mph (as stated in the owners manual). And the cruise control fuse is good. I DONT UNDERSTAND! Has anyone had any weird issues with their cruise control that may be able to provide some intelligent input on this subject? p.s. my horn also does not work. This may be completely unrelated but I thought I would throw that in here. Thanks!! MDD

Hello All, I am brand new to this world of Subaru. I have started my experience by purchasing a 1998 Impreza L with the 2.2L (that is the EJ22 correct?). Having 125000 miles on it, the rust has taken over the rockers as well as the rear wheel wells and fenders. I am looking for some rust repair panels online and have come up with nothing. THE QUESTION: Has anyone had any experiences with repairing the rocker panels / wheel areas from the rust cancer? Were you able to find any pre-made rust repair panels? Kind Regards, Mikey
