Hey all, I have bunch of unconnected wires in the drivers side well under the dash. Does anyone know if they are supposed to be disconnected, or what they are supposed to be connected to? Everything seems to work, though i dont hae a keyless entry system, and there is a box under the dash which says keyless entry etc.

 

 

 

Here are some pics. Thanks!

first of all that's a mess.. you need to trace where it goes to and I can tell you that's not factory.. I've never seen any stock lin-line fuse on a Subaru.. and that 2nd picture is a fuse tap.

Tool of the under dash cover and traced the orange one back. It's a rats nest in there! I don't think it is even connected to anything. Anyone have a diagram of what the electrical system under the dash is supposed to look like?

just making sure: if i disconnect the neg batt. term., and unplug a bunch of these F#$%@ers, as lomng as i plug em back where i found them, i'm not gonna break anything, right?

dealer add on subaru remote start/security system.

 

you will see this kind of wireing in dealer add on fog lights and cruise control units as well

HImm, I have CC, but i think it came with the car (no clue rly though). WOuld it be easy to get a keyless entry system/remote start hooked up if the box is already in th ecar?

 

and why would there be a wire goign from nowhere to noiwhere with a fuse in it?

It was probably disabled due to a lost key fob. Or it could have been disabled due to it being armed from disconnecting the battery. Somewhere there should be a reset switch near the hood latch.

 

I have thought of retrofitting one into my 86 GL, since it pligs in-line with the ign swithc form the key, and has the same plug

Yep, there's a little black button underneath. So, the red and orange wires with the in line fuses can be hooked up to the keyless entry system box somehow?

Would a Haynes manual explain the location and purpose of all the under dash wires/plugs?

 

And, if so, where can I buy one?

No but the factory service manual would

And where can i buy that?

this is the internet. you will find one

so i found a wiring diagram online. holy crap its complicated. since the subie is running fine, i think imma just tuck the loose wires up there with all the other crap and call it a day.

uh, yeah - unless you are having issues, i would leave it alone until such a time as you have the time to trace, figure out what it is/was and either remove or whatever you are going to do with it.
