March 13, 200620 yr hey guys, its "my subaru is stuck in 4wd" guy. so i figured out what was wrong with the 4wd, its all set, but i noticed toniight that i have no dash lights,license plate lights, tail lights and my left headlight is dim, i checked the fuse for the tail/plate lights. stop lamps are fine, i pulled the harness out for the rear tail lights, they are on, but dim, i think i might have a bad ground, somewhere, just wondering if anyone could offer some advice. maybe this has happened to someone else? i need to drive this thing at night! no dash lights sucks, but no tail lights is the worst.
March 13, 200620 yr I just gotta do this! check the grounds! with a dvm set on 20v, connect one lead to center terminal and one lead to outer terminal and note reading ~12 = good then connect one lead to center terminal and one lead to good ground and note reading ~12 = good then connect one lead to outer terminal and one lead to good ground and note reading ~0 = good then stick one lead in engine coolant and one lead to good ground and note reading ~0 = good
March 13, 200620 yr Author right, i was gonna do that, but seeing as the lights didnt work, i took my other car to work, and while i was at work, it rained like crazy here, now i have crank but no start, now i have to start from there, atleast it used to move before the rain...i hate this car right now!
