Legacy GT LTD Sedan AWD F4-2.5L SOHC (2001)
If you encounter a situation on a 2000MY-2002MY Legacy where the heated seats, lighted visor mirrors, or power mirrors are inoperative, check to see
if fuse 4 is blown. H-6 vehicles equipped with Automatic Climate Control will also experience a failure of this system should fuse 4 blow.
Investigation of this has shown that the power mirror wiring harness may be the cause. The wiring harness for the power mirrors may have been routed
incorrectly within the mirror housing. This routing may cause the harness to rub, and eventually pinch against the door gusset mounting screw. Once the
harness is pinched the insulation is cut and eventually blows the fuse.
Currently only the RH mirror is causing the problem but, it can be assumed that the LH mirror may cause the same concern. Replacing the fuse may or
may not lead to a second immediate failure of the fuse. In some cases, the wire may move away from the gusset screw and the condition would then
become an intermittent concern.
A secondary area to check is where the harness for the lighted visors travels through the roof panel. The harness has no protection in this area and could
become pinched.
