It is most often the same fuse as the cigar lighter or power points. Use a 12 volt test light and check the terminal listed in the diagram below for power.

if the third brake light works check the turnsignal switch. if none of the brake lights light i would check the fuses and than the brake light switch

Hi, to replace the starter, please disconnect the negative battery terminal first.
To get the starter out, you will need to remove the air cleaner. First take the air filter out, then you can see the screws that hold the air cleaner box. Remove the screws and separate the box from the pipe that goes to the engine.
Next see the picture below. This is your starter. If you can, first unscrew the nut on the solenoid and remove the wires. The smaller wire just pulls off the small terminal. If you cannot reach the nut with the starter in place, it is OK to unbolt the starter first and then turn the back up to access the wires.
The starter is held in by 2 bolts. Remove these bolts and the starter will come out of the transmission.
This is all you have to do to remove the starter.
If you can, take the old starter with you to the parts store.
If the parts store has a starter tester, have them test the old starter before you purchase a new one.
They will also want to keep the old starter when they sell you a new one, so that they can rebuild the old starter.
To install the starter, just bolt it back in and reconnect the wires and then the battery terminal.
If you had to let the starter down to disconnect the wires, then replace the wires before bolting in the starter.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

hi this sounds like it could be a faulty throttle position sensor as these usually cause the sensor to think the throttle is closed/half closed when it could be wide open or other way round so best bet would be get that checked at a garage, a tune up usually wouldnt include testing that unless specifically asked for and if it gets regular tune ups/services i would rule out a fuel filter problem. Hope this helps in some way, as for the sti they are the hardcore version of the wrx they come with bigger turbos, semi forged internals, remapped computer, better suspension, air intakes and a short shift gearbox and so on, let me know how you get on

Could be alot of things... when was last tune up? You might consider having a free OBII scan (fault scan) done at any good parts store to pull fault codes from cars computer - it sounds like a TPS (Throttle Positioning Sensor) but have scan done so you're not throwing parts at it.

I think this is a mechanical problem ... when you brake it refuse to send a signal to the tail lights.
I suggest that you need to check the terminal block connection between them.

Is it a vent to air or recirculating one. Also it depends on manufacture, some are quieter than others, higher boost pressure will also make it sound louder but other factors are involved with this so I should take advise from your local shop.

The windows are fed through a 30amp fuse in the engine compartment fuse & relay box. It is a fuse-link type with a see throuh top, square pink fuse. This fuse feeds the windows and central door locking. If it is blown I would suspect another issue has caused it, Have seen worn front door wiring create this issue.

No, the switch is above the brake pedal and the relay is under the hood. The problem can be either one. First pull the connector off the brake switch--there may be more than one connector, but pull them all off. If the brakes lights go out, replace the switch. If they dont, replace the relay. I guarantee the lights will go out if you pull the relay out. If the relay clicks when you push it back in, it's because the brake switch is shorted on. If the relay doesn't click, the relay is shorted on.

yeah, it's the brake light switch (just above brake pedal)

did you shatter the disk

could be wrong, BUT, sounds like car put into reverse/park when driving forward.

needs a good battery to turn over and start up check bat leads,clean,tight,is bat okay

There may be a short
check that turn signal wiring out all way to fuse box and see if there is a split where its shorting out.

have the EGR system checked

Try the park lamp switch on top of the steering column
