Recently I purchased my 06 FXT and noticed there were spots for a glove box light but no light/sensor. This is the lazy guy version as I had left over parts from another glove box that went in my STi. I look forward to redoing this later but currently had a lifting incident and I am on some medication that makes me very dizzy and nauseated at times but had to get out of the house and do something. So I will look forward to finishing it off in a more professional manner.
Forgot to take a picture of the glove box in but if you have ever done a cabin air filter follow those steps to remove the screws to remove it.
Here is an image of the Forester wiring to the blower motor. Then my 05 STi I was pretty surprised they changed it between the two models. Was hoping they were lazy and left the connector but after some searching I could not find it. So onward to plan b.
Forester blower wiring
STi (purple and black wire are what I was looking for on the Forester.)
Now with it out here is the backside showing the hole for the light switch and light hole.
Here is the wiring that you can pull off an Impreza at you pull it car lot or most likely buy new from Subaru.
Then removed the shift knob and surround to access the power outlet and use it to test. This is the lazy way and I need the key on to use it but for now it will do.
Purple is power and black is ground... Pretty simple. Testing for operation.
And now the final product. Little bit bright outside but definitely working as wanted!
If you have anymore info or comments to add please feel free! Hopefully I will be feeling better soon and will find a constant power to have it work at all times. Thanks for stopping by! Hope it helps someone out.
