Car Forum / Subaru Cars / February 2008where is the other fuse box on wrx?
I blew the cigarette lighter's fuse by plugging in a bad adapter in a 2002 impreza wrx. The main fuse box is on the driver side under the hood, but that is not where the blew fuse is. I believe it is in a separate fuse box, but I can't find it. Any ideas? Also, are these fuses generic parts I can get from auto parts store, or do I have to order from subaru? I checked two subaru parts web site and came up with nothing when I searched for "fuse". > I blew the cigarette lighter's fuse by plugging in a bad adapter in a 2002 > impreza wrx.

Under the hood driver side near the firewall under black plastic cover. > I blew the cigarette lighter's fuse by plugging in a bad adapter in a 2002 > impreza wrx.

Unfortunately you'll likely need to remove the lighter socket itself. There is a fuse built onto the back of it I think. The Soob replacement is $$$ but if you decide to use a generic or re-wire the original somehow - I think it's advisable to have fuse (can be in a spliced in holder i suppose) in that location. www.subarugenuineparts.com is a discount dealer that might have a replacement. email Jamie (of www.subiegal.com fame!) through the website. This has come up before I think. Search the group here and search at www.ultimatesubaru.org and maybe at www.nasioc.com Carl  Signatureto reply, change ( .not) to ( .net) > I blew the cigarette lighter's fuse by plugging in a bad adapter in a 2002 > impreza wrx.

Look below the fog light & cruise control switches for a little door / storage bin. Remove this door to reveal the other fuse block. Pretty sure the "Cigar" fuse is a 20A on the top row. Standard part available at any parts store, CircleK, Kmart, etc...

The fuse box cover is disguised as a pull-out coin holder. You have to move it up to separate it from the hinges, then tilt and remove it. There is a spare 20A fuse in the main fuse box under the hood, so I use that. |
