It controls an array of things in my 02 bugeye and I can't seem to figure out what keeps causing the little 15amp fuse to keep blowing. A previous thread pointed out a coil pack(referesed thread http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1625284). But it was the other "yellow colored" fuse under the dash. I'm just wondering if it could be the same issue. Same symptoms as the other guy. Turn the key all the way, but before you can turn the car over "pop" goes the fuse.
edit:
Maybe if I put some symptoms down. The fuse pops and car wont turn over. I have power to everything; car just wont start. I took it to Mitchel Subaru in Canton, CT to have their service dept. take a look at it. After $395 of "diagnostics" they couldn't figure it out. They inserted a new fuse, jiggled some wires and car started right up. Since then its been doing this off and on. But Last Wednesday it died on the freeway at 7:30am -2 degrees. After a box of 20 15amp fuses and all non-essential fuses in my panel to at least get me to work with some heat. The State Patrol called a tow truck. SO sitting for an hour in a freezing cold car, a $155 tow bill (I'm getting reimbursed for that) and another mechanic not know what's causing it. I'm at my wit's end.
Bumper was torn off in a parking lot in October of '07 while I was at work and since then I had some flickering of the fog lights and high beams almost constantly. A relay "clicks/flickers" in the passenger side kickpanel when the lights flicker. Not sure if its related or not.
