No electrical power - please help!!!

Hey dude - looks like you started quite the ruckus here, and I confess
I was too bored to actually read all of the posted replies. I hope you
have had some luck, but in case not I wanted to add my 2 humble cents.

It is only this - one time someone tried to break into and hotwire my
1986 Honda Accord. I found it the next morning in front of my house,
and after putting the ashtray back and the steering column cover, etc,
I found the car wouldn't start - totally dead, y'know. So, after
puzzling over it for several hours I looked up the electrical diagrams
and found a small, inexplicable fuse in the middle of the wiring from
the battery to the starter. It turned out to be an anti-theft device
that would short if someone crossed the wrong wires. Pretty sweet
move, Honda.
Now, this may not apply IN THE SLIGHTEST to your situation, but I
thought it was worth mentioning since you are obviously an intelligent
person and have been trying to figure out why your car won't start. I
don't know your model or the year-by-year history of specail features
on Subarus, but I thought this might illustrate a point. Have you
followed the electrical line all the way through? Checked every point
between the components? You never know what happened when you were
gone, so I thought it might be worth saying.

Good luck.
