Hey all, i got my 99 outback limited aniversary edition a few days ago and i notice that the power mirrors do not work, i dont have a tec manual so i dont know which fuse it is, or is it a fuse at all? any help appreciated!

I'm assuming that you're referring to the outside mirrors. I'm also assuming that you don't have the owner's manual, since the the fuse info is in that. Fuse #3 (counting from the upper left) in the under-dash panel is a 20A that protects the "remote controlled rear view mirrors", as well as the cigarette lighter socket.

 

However, if you don't have the manual, perhaps you're not aware of the control operation. First, the mirrors only operate when the ignition is "ON" or in "ACC" position. If the mirrors are the heated type, you have to turn the knob to the "L" or "R" position before the "joystick" works; the center postion is inactive/"neutral". (The non-heated type has a switch below the knob that similarly has to be flipped left or right.)

hey thanks a million! i just noticed that my cig lighter doesent work either! ill give it a try.

You're welcome. It's certainly possible that someone overloaded/shorted the lighter socket and blew the fuse.

Found it, put a fuse in and it blew, so tracked it down to the cigar lighter up forward, anyone have one that they would like to donate? took it out of the circut, everything works fine!

Inspect the inside of the socket and look for any trouble. You may be able to fix it yourself.

tried that, it came apart in tiny bits, its ok i dont smoke anyway
