Is 1985 BRAT wiring the same is 1984 GL Wagon?

Featured Replies

I have the manual to the 84 gl, but the vehicle I drive is an 85 BRAT.

Can I use the 84 wiring diagrams to fix the 85 BRAT?

They’re basically the same and would be the best basis of what you have in your BRAT if you can’t get your year’s FSM. AFAIK their pretty much the same except for rear doors and rear wiper - depending on whether or not your BRAT has the same instrument cluster as that of the FSM. Even then 80% of the wiring will be the same or very similar. 

What’s the issue you’re chasing?

I am trying to make the air conditioner work.

I have  1984 Subaru 1600 1800 Engine and Body Service Manual

and 

1984 Subaru Wiring Diagram and Troubleshooting 

 

It looks like the 85 BRAT has the same dash and engine wiring as the 84 4wd wagon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You are not likely to find 85 BRAT specific wiring, so we all tend to use the nearest match as a guide with expectation there may be some differences and to check stuff yourself if in doubt
