Wire routing in front fender

[TedZ]

Hi,

 

2002 Outback. Hit a deer, fender and hood replaced, good job, all is well. Two weeks after the repair, fuse F5 blows, no parking lights whatsoever. Checked all of the light assemblies, all ok. Short in the wiring in the replaced fender as left front parking lot connector shorted to ground.

 

How do you access the wiring in the fender between the light and where it enters the main harness to the under-dash fuse assembly? Does the fender have to come off i-hope-not?

 

Thanks.

If you can get the plastic thing in the wheel well out, you can access that wiring fairly easily. I only know because that plastic wheel well guard fell out on my '96 after I bumped a curb and all that wiring is plain to see up in there.
