I have had a 2005 Imprezza wagon for a year. Got a nice condition 98
Forester S (needing a brake job and power steering tubes) yesterday for my
son, and have several questions.
Today I replaced the clock and a broken power window control switch panel.
After fixing the power steering ...
1. the Airbag light now does not extinguish after the usual 6 seconds after
IGN on. I had to drop the rack to replace the tubes, but did not remove the
steering wheel so I can't see that there is a clock spring issue. Where is
the airbag controller and (I assume) fuse for it? Do I HAVE to take it to a
dealer to get the SRS system reset? Is there something I've missed here?
2. My OBD2 reader does not report any error codes, but the Evaporative, O2
sensor and Cat systems don't complete their scan. I don't recall if this was
the case when I checked the car a couple of days ago. I did disconnect the
front O2 sensor today to drop the exhaust so I could drop the rack.
Is there another fuse for these systems I should look for?
Disconnecting the battery for a while does not clear any of the above.
Final question. How do I remove the dash top-center panel with the air
vents. I see the two screws under little plastic covers. Do I have to remove
the radio bezel to find more screws?
