There are quite a few plugs on many different subarus that are not used. Don't bother looking for a place to plug them in cause there probly isn't a spot.

well if you would have looked at the pics you would have seen that both ends of the plugs are there they are just unpluged I have some electrical stuf on the brat that does not work like the fan for the defrost ,the tag light so I would like to know if any one has the same plugs befor I plug them up I would rather not blow some thing up right thanks

Hi, I looked at your pics and I've owned a few Subarus with the same wiring as your Brat. Off the top of my head, I don't know what those are either. Your best bet is to get a wiring diagram for your car. Your second best bet is to use a multimeter to see when any of those wires have power.. which position is the ignition switch in, which functions such as the heater are on, etc. Good luck. Someone else will probably come along with more info too.

the 2 behind the radio mightgo toghether and be the fan wires.

 

But the other single wires are tap ports for options. Cruise control and A/C if I am not mistaken.

If the clock isn't remembering it's time then one of the set's of bullet connectors may be related, but otherwise those are almost surely option wires that you don't have.

 

They only make a few harnesses, and if you look on the dash you should have a tag that says "equipped for installation of optional AC", etc. Lots of options could be dealer installed or factory or not present at all. But the wireing for them exists to facilitate not ripping the car entierly apart when a customer just wants AC on his base model ride.
