wiring diagram


Ed McKinley
 

I just bought a Chilton's manual for Subarus from NAPA for $16.00; book
number (8259) 64302. I don't know if this is the one Hobert was talking
about but the engine wiring diagram is not even close in detail to the
Mitchell diagram. If anyone was looking at this diagram while reading
my earlier dissertation on coloring wires they might wonder why I made
it sound so complicated.

The Mitchell diagram is two full pages while the Chilton is one half
page. Chilton shows WHERE the wires go. Mitchell, however, shows you
HOW they get there, how Subaru spliced the wires and has all the
computer terminals in order and most of the engine plugs. It makes
tracing the wires much easier if you are inclined to take that step and
is compatible with Hoberts computer plug detail page.

I have found the rest of the manual very informative concerning the
engine maintenance. Timing belt, cam and crank seal replacement and
everything else I want to spruce up on my engine is in this book. Not
as detailed as the Subaru shop manual but adequate and less expensive.

Can you tell me where on can acquire a copy of a Mitchell diagram or a
manual? There is a big difference between he two Chilton editions numbered
8259. The 1985-92 has 62 pages devoted to the Legacy wiring, but he
1985-1996 edition has a total of 4 pages.

I have the 85 to 96 book with few diagrams.? Ron Bloomquist got the Mitchell diagram from a garage that uses a web service to download shop information.? I have clean copies of the 1991 diagram that I could mail but that may be too limited in scope for your needs.??
