What steps did you take to when replacing the bellows?

Colorado and Hawaii. Welcome in both.

Well, enough to get the horn to work, which was needed to pass the Safety Inspection. They had failed my 2002 Impreza wagon for no horn. I provided a ground at the under dash connector and it worked fine, so continued up to the steering wheel. No continuity between the lower dash connector and the horn wire. That pointed to the clock-spring. Being in Hawaii and with limited parts I pulled it apart. careful taking it apart gave me access to the spool of wire ribbon that makes up the clock-spring. Sure enough close to one end it was toast. I cut it back a couple of inches and stripped off the insulation with a razor blade. That allowed me to tuck the copper leads into the connector for the horn. The airbag was out of it already and I sure would not have done this repair if I wanted the airbag to work. I just needed a horn for the island beater.

ww.car-part.com good source for parts.

I'll be back in Colorado in the next couple of weeks and can ship the TCU/s if you want one or more.

I took my 2005 Subaru Impreza Wagon in for it's safety inspection today. The Rear Side Marker Lights were flagged. Last year it passed. Anyway, I pulled the assemblies and the little marker bulb is there but no wiring. The Owners manual does not show it. In my 2002, the manual shows it and the wiring is present. Strange! Anyone run into this? Thanks, Larry

Why GD got out IMHO. I miss that knowledge. CCR and Shawn as well.

Still digging.

I feel your pain. 2006 is the newest I will go. Yes, I'd start with the codes.

06 Forester about 180K on it. Power Steering pump wines when cold. Belt looks good, fluid full but old. No leaks. I'm thinking of changing the fluid, but it works ok. Any ideas? Thanks, Larry

I may have one. Posted as such on your bolt post.

Back in Colorado this week if you still need one.

I may have a TCM for you. What's the # on it?

You could have them welded up and then retap as well but a good used is the way to go.

www.car-part.com ebay.com I most likely have one in Colorado, but I'm in Hawaii. So it goes.

Was the torque converter fully seated? Trans light flashing 16 times on start? If so the TCU has codes.

Yes as the valve is working as it should.

No exhaust to intake. So just another source of air. EGR video link below. Bing Videos

If you have a tap, run it in to clean the threads. If you don't have a tap, make you own by cutting a groves down the threads from head to end of the bolt. Grinder, file, hacksaw.

12mm bolt. I've used longer ones as well. Ace will have them, just take the old one and match it, but longer.

Yes fresh air from the airbox. I've tapped into the 1" dia hose going to the IAC and also directly into the airbox on cars that do not have the large IAC hose.

Load, Ground, Power. Could be the harness. LoadPro on youtube will give you some great troubleshooting tips.

I've left the valve and have tapped into the airbox. It works as well.

NGK copper core is all you need. Subaru or NGK plug wires.
