gcleeton Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 This has foxed me - When I plug my tire inflator into the cigar lighter socket in my 99 Legacy today, I do get a surprise ! It has always worked OK - when I turn the ignition key of course. Today when I turn the key the inflator does not come on but - guess what - something(s) else does - the cooling fans come on at the front of the car ! HELP! Please help to save me time wire tracing - has it happened to you? Gil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97subaruGT Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 The fuse for the lighter is blown and the circuit is forwarded to the fan. Replace the fuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcleeton Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 Thanks you are right the cigar fuse has blown - but I don't understand what you mean by diversion to fan - the fan has a separate fuse. ? Gil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Thanks you are right the cigar fuse has blown - but I don't understand what you mean by diversion to fan - the fan has a separate fuse.? Gil for some odd reason it back feeds to the fans. Its a quirk of the circuit. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
