Rollerball Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I have done some researching and I'm trying to figure out how to the center headlight activates. I read the manual and it states; by pushing the center lamp button on the dash the center headlight should flip open and activate the center driving lamp. It also states that the dash-light should also activate on the console indicating that the light is on. When I push the switch nothing happens. I pulled the grill off and noticed that it looks like it's motor driven, and I traced the wires back up which looks like a wire plugs up near the negative battery terminal. I also searched the forum and, and How to Keep your Subaru Alive book. Can anybody explain to me how how this thing operates. Is it on it's on fuse? I didn't see anything in the manual as far as fuse location. All the lights work in the car including the dome light, fasten seat belts chime, etc. Thanks!

Loyale90 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 sounds like a fuse check all of em in the fuse box if there isnt a diagram on the fuse box cover showing what fuses go to what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollerball Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 I checked the manual and the fuse box, which is labeled nothing showing the "center lamp". Rollerball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 there should be a black box on the passenger side trut tower. that's th relay, and it's tied into the headlights. the centerlamp will ony work if your headlights are on, and for 82, I think it required high beams to be on too, or maybe it was low.... however, given what you stated about how it does not operate, I would pull the light off the front of the car, and take a look at the wiring where it attaches to the light/motor. the wiring there often breaks off, and makes everything stop working.....
