stevo151617 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 hey guys, its "my subaru is stuck in 4wd" guy. so i figured out what was wrong with the 4wd, its all set, but i noticed toniight that i have no dash lights,license plate lights, tail lights and my left headlight is dim, i checked the fuse for the tail/plate lights. stop lamps are fine, i pulled the harness out for the rear tail lights, they are on, but dim, i think i might have a bad ground, somewhere, just wondering if anyone could offer some advice. maybe this has happened to someone else? i need to drive this thing at night! no dash lights sucks, but no tail lights is the worst.
