Black2010LGT Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 So I just purchased my first Subaru two weeks ago and drove it back from San Diego to Albuquerque. I love the car so far, but it does have one main problem that I know shouldn't be too hard to fix. The moonroof, interior lights and rear view mirror are not getting power. I have checked all of the fuses and determined that none of them are blown. Has anyone ever had a problem with the overhead console not getting power? I figured this problem has to have come up somewhere before. Thanks for any info that you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justen1987 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Not sure what all lights aren’t working for you. Maybe these diagrams can help Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD123 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 All of the things that aren't working share the same ground (GB-5 - passenger side footwell) and all pass through the same connector (I-57 in the passenger side a-pillar) so I would start by checking both of those.

cww516 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 From what I'm seeing in the manual, those components are powered off of a handful of different fuses, but they all share a ground connection, and they all go through the same connector. My best guess would be that the connection between the roof harness and the dash harness is loose- looks like that's a white 16-pin connector either inside the passenger's side A-pillar, or behind the little pop-out panel at the end of the dash right below the pillar. If that's not it, there could be a wiring issue in there somewhere. Any idea if the previous owner hard-wired in a dash cam or a radar detector or anything like that? edit: too slow...

Black2010LGT Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hey guys, I got a little busy and just now got back to the problem. Thanks to your help, I found the problem. It did turn out to be the connector in the passenger A pillar. It had wiggled itself loose. Glad it wasn't the harness itself! Thanks again for your help!

cww516 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Always a good feeling when it's just a loose connector! Anything beyond that can be a pain to track down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
