What is this for.


Recommended Posts

Ok, Picked up a 97 Legacy GT yesterday. The radio wasn't working right or holding memory. I got it fixed but found something else.

 

This connector was cut off.

It looks like the connector that was cut off terminates in to the other one. Am I just crazy or is that for another option? Just gonna solder the wires back together and put shrink tube on them. Should I connect it back together or leave it alone once i get it back together?

That is the original connector that Subaru used up til 05 (14 pin). In 06 Subaru changed to a 7 (?) pin connector. All radios since 06 use the new connector.

Check in audio section for a pinout, and see which lines should be connected.

It appears to be the connector for the flux capacitor. Removal allows for speeds in excess of 88MPH.

 

I don't wanna go back to 1985!

 

Looks like the connector to the factory sub under the drivers seat. It was set up as a kind of piggy-back to the original harness.
So do I just plug em all together and have mad bass yo? :D I haven't looked under the drivers seat for a sub!

Sorry the pictures don't really show the wiring, but basically there is a "jumper" or "Y" connection if you have the factory subwoofer.

Thank you sir! First thing I gotta work on my Buddy's Accord but thats on the list for tomorrow, hope the amp isn't blown. Seems to me like the guy before the Guy I got it from didn't know what they were doing.

Seems to be a theme with these cars....

 

Yea, I hear that. The guy I bought it from has an STi with some nice upgrades. Its a blast at the AutoX! He knows what he is doing. He drove to Cincinnati to get this car, so who knows what was done to it there.

 

I rewired the plug and hooked it up but the sub still doesn't work. My guess is that the amp is fried. Oh well.
