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 ...
- 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?
- 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?
