Yes, it's a secondary wire...I'm trying now to up load a picture.

Hello everybody. I remove just in case fuse #17 and fuse # 3 ( under the dash and inside the engine compartment ) both are related with the stereo system ( both are in good condition, at least radio have no energy at the moment) I will follow FairTax4me advise , remove front seat, lower trim and carpet to make a visual inspection and see what is under. I'm really thankful guys, I work all day and I just have a few hours in the night to check this problem. This is very helpful , thank you very much.

Thank you so much guys. All the answers helped me a lot. Soon I will remove the carpet to take a look at the wires. Thanks again!

Hello Fairtax4me, no power seats ,and wire doesn't look burned, I just came from the car, and I found problems with the stereo system (I have lights on but doesn't work), this Legacy doesn't have a black box under the seat. I guess is a short cut under the carpet, and the smoke found the way out in the drivers seat direction.

Hello everybody, very nice site ! I own a Subaru Legacy Outback 1996, today during a normal commute some white smoke and electric smell comes from under the driver seat. Of course I'm stopped the car immediately and checked under the seat, I found a single wire that is connected to the seat belt . I disconnected the wire , is there something else I have to do? Somebody hear about this before? Since the odor and smoke comes directly from under the seat I'm assume this wire is the problem, but I'm really don't know. Please help!
