turn signal circuitry info

[aa8jzdial]

Good friend has 1999 Forester with turn signal problem.

Neither he or I have a schematic.

I do have a set of shop manuals for my fleet of 1990 Legacys.

Is the wiring in this area fairly close or way different?

What is good price to pay for shop manuals for 99 Forester?

Ebay?

thanks

A good price is a stamp and a blank disc to me.

 

The turn signal ciruit is stupid simple on these cars, and mnost issues are over thought.

 

What problems are you having?

You drive a hard deal.

 

His story is vague.

Something about rewiring a front signal socket and seeing sparks.

After that, he can heard relay clicky but no flashy.

I will travel to his place during my lunch and review with 1990 subaru shop manual section #6 in hand.

Will pm you and take advantage of your kind offer.

thanks

I was wrong. No clicking of relay with turn signals on.

4 ways work fine.

According to my "old" schematic there is a fuse that functions through the ignition switch for only turn signals.

Flashers are fed by fuse from battery and hence always active.

 

For this 1998 Forester we found no reference to turn signal fuses on any fuse box covers or the vague owners manual.

Also the instrument lights (and maybe the instruments also, can't recall)

are kaput. Should this clue us as to a fuse, although all we found were fine.

Most auto electric issues are not bad if you have good print and can find all the components.

 

 

I need to follow through with your kind offer of the cd manual.

thanks again.
