Well after searching and pm'ing/getting pm's back from other who had the same problem with the infamous "Taillights don't work" problem.Long story short I want to say what a cool board this is and thanks to everyone who helped and I hope this helps people in the future.After reading the problem about the fuse I quickly run outside and check visually and with a meter.No luck.After reading about the relay I run outside pull the relay and test.It reads good.Again no luck.I'm starting to run out of options so I figure there has to be a break in the wire.So I start to do continuity check all the way down from the switch to the bulb in the rear.I get to right around the back passenger seat door sill area and I yell "I FOUND IT!"right there the white/red stripe wire was cut,BUT the funny part was the end going to the trunk had a red wire connected to it and was going back up front.I saw this wire and just figured it was the remote wire for the amp (The guy I bought it from took out the system) so call me an ass for ASSuming.Anyhow I connect the factory wires ends back together,run over hit the switch and nothing.Baffled and after getting a few pm's about it being the switch.(Seeing how its the only thing I haven't tested)I get a toggle switch and tap into the orange wire coming off the switch and guess what happened.Everything works :banana: I yell for joy "WOOWHO",but I'm not in the clear yet.Yes I can drive my car again but tomorrow I will find out how much this switch is from Subaru :confused: Most likey its expensive,but maybe i'm still overlooking something so please anybody got anymore suggestions please throw them out there,and if this is it I hope this helps the many to come :D
