OK...found the problem. It was a ground. Funny but I was unable to find GB-1 that was supposed to be bolted to frame around drivers side door opening it seemed from schematics. Anyway there was a molex connector in that area that was taped up. It was a ground termination floating with 4 spade connectors which were oxidized. Sanded and greased and solid solid afterwards. 4 hours in the cold still better than opening the wallet for more than the value of the vehicle fo sure. Tks all who had suggestions

Y good call on the test mode. I had actually connected them earlier when I was debugging this problem and couldnt get disconnected..got them ok now tks..so basically I still have a problem but its dissappeared for the time being then if the locks would not have caused it.

I went at the problem today had all the diagrams....thought Id start by taking the door locks out of the system by pulling fuse 3 on the interior fusebox. Pulled it and the lights still would not go on...put it back in to try something else and everything worked....hmmm. All is working at the moment but something must still be amiss...it did trouble me that the door locks did not work lights on or off though so maybe a lock faulty between open and closed or fuse had some voltage drop? : /

Cleaned up chassis ground. Reseated connectors off steering wheel ignition. The buzzer and flashing is probably 4 times a sec. Funny I cant find the power door locks on the schematic.Was thinking find the power source the locks use and see what shares the circuit. Car may be possessed..;lol. If you put key in and rotate ignition pre start position you can hear a few things going on check engine light flashes, relay flasher behind glove box and rad fan I believe then a module at back right rear clicks..this repeats every 5 secs.

Yes it runs perfect..thanks for some ideas will apply them tomorrow. My mech friend suggests its the dash light dimmer. When I rotate the dimmer it does change the frequency of the flashing...but gee I never use the dimmer? Also it started occurring intermittently in the colder weather so suspect a ground connection...

Oops...the vehicle is a 2003 Subaru Gt Manual

This was intermittent now solid. The door locks do not work but there is a weak audible click. When the headlights are turned on they flicker. Also hazard lights flicker and tach /pressure guage lose power. Dome lights /clock ok. Power windows ok. I swapped out relays in fuse box so far..checked cable connection to battery link and ground.
