Turns out my condensation is due to a leak in the passenger footwell (not aircon).. Going on a ramp Tuesday for an inspection..

Hi..

Filters and fluids are next on my list of 'to do'.. Since getting the car in June, I have been trying to get all possible maintenence done, filters are next and I will certainly do the cabin pollen filter.. Does it really make such a difference to condensation..? Cant quite picture how but it will be done anyways.. Will let you know if any difference..

Big thanks for this mod.. What a difference..! Had become a habit of manually switching on the maps lights everytime I stop, now all auto..!!

 

Will stress that you must disconnect the battery doing this mod.. Even tho I had, I tried very carefully to keep the two wires on the plug (which you have to swap around) from touching each other, veeery difficult and seems this is what blows the BUI..

Managed to do all of this without solder, used small block connectors and on the dome light, I wedged the wire under one of the metal strips connected to the middle (brown) wire, similar to how folks have been connecting the wires at the map light end..

Quite daft that this is not done at Subaru... Heated seats next..!!

 

Yamon, is it possible you have some condensation in your dome light? My leggy is the worst car I have ever had for condensation and is a running battle to wipe off all the interior water on the windows every time I get in it in the winter.. just a thought..

Thanks.. Had done it with 2 so all good.. and an electronic mystery cleared from my mind.. just a couple of million to go..

Hi All.. from UK..

 

Have a jdm 2004 gen IV twinscroll.. Wiring looks identical to what I have seen here so have given it a go.. Just got to connect it up in the morning.. fingers crossed..

 

Quick question to those that know more about electronics than me (all of you I suspect), why are we using 2 diodes? What is wrong with one diode, say at the domelight end? Cant quite get my head round why 2 after that wire is split in the maplight end.. Its probably obvious, but cant see it meself..
