Thank you Silverton. What I did was put ring terminals on the wires and then grounded them where the device is connected.

I don't usually work on the newer cars, but my friend needed help[. Someone quoted him $3,500 to replace the harness. All I had to do was repair about 15 wires and figure out what that ground ting was.. Took about 5 hours total over 2 days. I like the older cars, much easier access to everything. Jim

Thank you all for replying. I put an Ohm meter on the device and all connections went to the terminal. So! I spliced wires on the harness end and put ring terminals on the other end, then I cleaned the ground connection and attached all the ring terminals there. Everything now works except for the two amber side turn signal lamps. I have been in ectroniocs since 1958, and been a collector of vintage cars since 2010. I have never seen a device like this before. And the Subaru parts dealer said we had to purchase the complete harness to get a replacement. Ireally thank you all for your insight and assistance. Jim

Could this device be a connector that is used as a single grounding point? In other words a groud connector for 5 wires?

Thanks JRu17

This is the THING I am trying to identify.

Thanks ammcinnis

Thanks for alccepting me in your group. A friend of mine, had his 2015 Legacy parked at a hospital lot for 3 weeks. When he was released he found that rodents had eaten some of his wiring. The damage I found was on th left side in front of, and to the left of the battery. I was able to splice most of the wires, but the headlights are not working, and the left turn signal has a quick flash rate. There is a small module on the left fnder that has 4 wires coming out of it. These wires have been chewed through and I was unable to determine where they go. The Subaru dealer said the module was part of the wiring harness and not available for purchase. Is there a wiring diagram available for this circuit? Is this module available from another source? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Jim
