Hi all, doing some digging for my old man as he is having trouble with his Liberty STI with Macintosh system, no GPS/SATNAV.
It keeps popping the 20AMP aux/backup circuit fuse in the engine bay. When it goes it is taking out the radio, radio surround illumination, front door courtesy lights, dome light, boot light, central locking remote sensor and it appears the engine immobiliser also stops working (eeek!!!) Unfortunately it isnt a constant thing - it will go months no worries and then pop a fuse every 2 minutes.
To me it sounds like a short to ground from a rubbed through loom somewhere. He has just had it at Subaru and Lucas automotive and they even got a sparky out to look over it but no joy as yet. They tried disconnecting the amp and HU and it was still popping fuses. As above, sounds like a short to ground so, im sure someone has come across this before. On all the forums i have browsed no one seems to have had this problem before, which i find hard to believe.
i dont really feel like pulling the dash and chasing looms etc but if someone has come across this before please shout out!! Things to note: second owner, no flood damage or crash damage, 100% as they came out of the factory.
Cheers,
Stu
