my father was given a 91 legacy wagon and it won't start. cranks fine but no spark. checked it out and found out the brain was toast, at least it smelled like it. got a new used brain and went to hook it up and found a red wire next to it that was burned in half. got a fuse holder but don't know what amp fuse to put in or what that wire does. the only book i have is a haynes which ndoesn't have a very good wiring diagram. help

a white plug under the dash of my fathers 91 legacy has a red wire burned there is 8 wires in the plug and i got the other wire colors they are blue/white tracer, red/yellow tracer, blk, green/white tracer, white/green tracer,blue/white tracer, black/white tracer, red the haynes manual doesn't show anything about this plug the red wire splits off to two red wires so i am thinking they are the power supply for the ecm. is there a place to download free shop manuals for this car or at least the electrical section?

i used to own a 91 legacy sedan that i paid 100 bucks for. they sold it to me cheap because the transmission wouldn't shift. i figured i live in town i only need one gear forward anyway. but i took it to a tranny shop for giggles anyway and was told it was bad and it would cost 5000 bucks to fix i declined. went to another shop and was told the tcu was bad and that was 500 bucks, still to much. went to pull and save and bought a used one for 10 bucks and five minutes later it was installed and the trans shifted fine. so the next payday i changed the brakes and struts and did a tuneup and got clocked at 104 on the freeway and i still had pedal left it ran real smooth . then a week later a woman talking on her cell t boned me and wiped out my car.

does my computer need to be bolted up to be grounded?

i need one because i have no spark, cranks fine, fuel pump works i think, just no spark.

just fixed a friend of mines hill-holder, his was frozen so every time he went to use his clutch it froze the brakes. bought a used one at pull and save and new brake rotors and calipers and pads and his gas milage went way up.

my 87 has a loose wire under the dash. not sure which one yet but if i reach under the dash with the key on everything lights up. what color is the ground wires under the dash. before i picked this car up the previous owners son got mad at her and grabbed the wires and yanked on them and splashed paint on the car. i hope top get this car running by winter because my pickup is worthless in the snow.

is there a free version of how to keep your subaru alive. there used to is it still out there. my copy was deleted when my computer died.

i installed the rubber brake hoses and got new pads. found out you can't tow the older subs on the ground without drive lines in. also found out the drive lines off a turbo didn't fit a regular transmission, to big on the tranny end in spite of what the parts boy at napa says. now i need to get a brake rotor, caliper and two drive lines. and find the loose ground wire under the dash. changed the ball joints, the old ones were rusted solid of course the boot tore installing it and the through bolt broke on one side. it was not a good day. but i can get parts at pull and save cheap enough as soon as the lady i bought the car from finds the title. then find some winter tires in 13 inch. good luck.
