Fuse for Wagon antenna booster?

I've been dealing with terrible reception in my LGT wagon for over a year. I've read about the powered signal booster and now that the problem exists with an aftermarket head unit I am sure it's the issue. Is there a fuse for the booster? The wires were connected on the factory head unit and should be on the new one (+12v to pin 9).

 

Thanks!

I decided to open the grommet for the hatch and sure enough a wire was severed. I patched it and we have stations again. That was a really crappy wire Subaru used.

those same crappy wires will eventually fail for your rear wiper and window heater coils. Others have also had problems with the rear third brake light going out too. ugh.

 

Cheers,

I was just going to suggest the grommet. I was in the same situation where my reception was really bad. Changed out the radio for the newer one thinking it might have been that but still the same. Then I ran down the lines after looking at the booster since the voltage was a little screwy when I checked it out. Turned out to have about 4 wires split in the drivers side grommet. Also got my rear wiper back as a result of the fix too.

On my drivers side, there looked to be 3 wires: the really thin (and broken) one for the signal booster, one a bit thicker, and the 3rd which was much thicker. Since it was getting dark I didn't pop open the the passenger side grommet.

yea I had wires cut in both sides. Just opened up both and soldered in new lines from the hatch into the car. That way there are new wires on both sides.
