My 2017 Forester has a fuse (square-type) No.SBF-4 30A, located in the centre of the under-hood fuse-box. When I pull this fuse, it disables all windows. Your 2016 Forester should be the same. BTW, you say that you have a 2016 Factory Manual. Is this the Subaru Forester 2016 'Service Manual'? If so, where did you get it from? I can't find the 2017, nor the 2016, Forester Service Manual available for download on the Subaru.com website. The most recent version listed is the 2015 Forester Service Manual, which is a full version including wiring diagrams.

My 2002 Forester has had the Left-rear wheel-bearing changed twice. Right-rear still has the original wheel-bearing. I found it hard to diagnose a faulty wheel-bearing: - rear noise gradually gets louder over time; - jacked-up rear wheels - no apparent looseness; - jacked-up rear wheels - listened with stethoscope while hand-turning wheels - nothing heard to confirm bearing problem; - checked hub-temperatures with infra-red gun after long run - nothing obvious noted. The noise was obviously from the rear, but I couldn't tell if it was left or right. My wife kept saying: 'It's the LEFT', but I couldn't be sure. She was correct. It eventually got loud enough to pinpoint the noise to the left-rear bearing.

I wonder what's included with a $65 rebuild axle. Has it just been cleaned and rebooted? Or have the CV interior-mechanisms also been refurbished?

Crankshaft Position Sensor: P0335 Camshaft Position Sensor: P0340; P0341 Faults can be due to a failing sensor OR to failing wire-insulation. If you get one of the codes, give the wiring and connections a good shaking and push-pull; sometimes this helps to either clear the fault, or to exacerbate the problem. Either way, this helps with diagnostics.

Intermittent low-idle/stalling could also be due to: - Idle Air Control Valve. The IACV can be cleaned to remove excess carbon; or - Crankshaft Position Sensor (on its way to dying completely); or - Camshaft Position Sensor. Do you get the low-idle when going over bumps & potholes?

I also broke that little aluminum adjuster piece for the AC tensioner (2002 Forester) I was pleasantly surprised to find that my local Subaru dealer had a replacement in stock, and for minimal cost. EDIT: Here's the Subaru part number: 73134AC001 EDIT #2: I see that the part is also available on Amazon. Search for the part number.

With all the brakes on, try engaging the clutch slowly in first gear. The engine will move around a bit, but not much. If you can see the engine moving a lot (upwards or side to side), it could mean failed engine mounts.

Also check the 'dog-bone' that connects the rear-top of the engine to the bulkhead, just below the windshield. It's unlikely that this part would fail, but it would only take 10-seconds to do a visual check.
