I have a '98 BK wagon that has had a rash of problems. Recently I switched the cluster to fix a constant high temp gauge (temps are in the normal range). After I switched the cluster the ABS and CEL lights were on. Seems that some bulbs were removed from the previous cluster :smt013
To get to the point....I was trying to pull the ABS code and from reading previous posts I thought you had to go to a dealer, but I just talked to a local Subaru mechanic and he said there are diagnostic plugs under the dash. Anyone have access to the FSM that can elaborate on this?
Secondly, how should I troubleshoot a temp gauge that goes to full hot regardless of engine temp? A headgasket job was recently done along with changing the thermostat (with a factory Subaru thermostat) The problem is somewhere between the thermostat and the gauge.
