Could you explain what I should actually do or possibly link me to a video that may help me?

It's no problem man. I thought the fuse box was a really good guess because I had blown fuses in there.

I ended up pulling a couple of fuse boxes from a junkyard and that didn't seem to resolve the issue. I also don't see any damage to my wires despite not having fender liners in either. I guess I can clean all the grounds? Any other ideas will be greatly appreciated.

As expected there does seem to be a lot of mud and dirt in the wire loom but I don't see any wire damage. I did notice when I unbolted the fuse box and would move it around one of the fans would keep trying to turn on.

When replacing the ignition and combination switches I didn't see any evidence or tampering. Also the green plugs under the dash are both also disconnected. This car has seen it's fair share of mud and rough conditions without fender liners so I think we may be on to something with that.

Thanks for the reply. It's interesting you mention the fender liner because neither one of my front fender liners are in.

I have a 98 Subaru Legacy L Wagon and I really love the car. For quite some time not I have had a lot of odd electrical issues. I have taken the car to different mechanics and one mechanic in particular who "loves electrical issues" without much success. Anyways, some of the problems I have encountered include: Fan running when car is off running battery dead Instrument panel lights out Head lights turning off randomly Head lights staying on when switch is off Key won't come out of ignition Running lights won't turn on The electrical mechanic I mentioned before did "hard wire" my running and headlights and this also would turn on my instrument panel. Recently I have decided to tackle this issue on my own by purchasing a brand new ignition and combination switch but this hasn't solved my issues either. I have also tried purchasing and swapping relays under the dash. I am just hoping perhaps someone here can point my in the right direction. I have done a lot of work to this car in upgrades and really want it functioning properly again. Thanks for your help in advance.
