good luck with it but seeing that birds nest of wires is part of the reason I have given my bus to someone else to do.

I have a wiring diagram that I used for my 98 impreza Matt, its probably the same as a forester if you want it?
No, the ECU was in the passengers footwell, is yours on the engine then? I didnt know that was a thing.. I will search my laptop for the diagram.
I wonder if that's the same as mine, I've stripped a lot of the junk out, I have the imobiliser to sort out..
I used the 98 wrx diagram here.... http://ken-gilbert.com/impreza-manuals Seemed to match mine pretty much spot on.
So, a bit more done on the loom, removing everything that i know is not required like lighting and heater wiring. Pile of removed wiring is slowly growing. Not sure Mrs will be happy if she knew I was doing it in the kitchen!! I've also removed the egear box in case i need to use it(have one form an impreza to use at the moment) i need the sensors from it a minimum. And last night i treated myself to a Cyprus Brandy
Hung the main wiring loom up in the garage. Hopefully it will make it easier to strip the wires out, i am pretty much doing it one at a time at the moment to make sure i don't just hack it to bits and chop out something important.
Best of! Mrs P has just whispered in my lug oil " You are NOT doing that to our bus" She's getting to be no fun.
