Assistance for 2019 Subaru Outback Fuse needed

Does anyone know where the fuse that the 4 pin connector gets power from is located on a 2019 Subaru Outback?
  • We probably need a bit more information. My guess is the fuse for the cars taillights and the fuse for the cars turn signals are the ones you are looking for.

    Go to this link and scroll down until you find the 2018,2019 fuse boxes. On the underhood box (drivers side under the hood) you are probably looking for fuse #4 Link
  • Look in the spare tire well. There was an inline fuse there. I think you have to remove the tool tray and tire. It was on the right side if I remember correctly.
  • Thank you for the assist. I have been rewiring the small utility trailer I have and touched the ground to something hot while the testing the turn light while running lights were on. The trailer lights all went off, but the car lights and brake lights all work fine. Trying to isolate the fuse
  • Are you sure it has factory trailer lights?

    All of the aftermarket light kits for Can-bus cars (which is all of them now) use their own power source. I connected mine directly to the battery with an inline fuse just outside the battery compartment.
  • I think the fuse is in distribution box. There is a wiring harness in my Outback under the rear floor. See these pics for some good clues. I purchased one one of those harnesses and plugged in there. I keep the wiring under the floor when not towing. When I connect the trailer, I just run through the hatch door between weatherstripping.
  • It worked previously before I changed all the wiring and old trailer lights to LED. Needs better ground. I think fuse will be alright when I get back into it.

    Found the fuse and it blew a 10 amp mini so thanks for the help
