Many of you know my Subaru converted FF Californian Speedster broke down while driving two weeks ago. I had some type of electrical issue that I couldn't figure out. Special Edition converted the car to Subaru Power a couple of years ago and their work and the car's performance has been amazing and flawless. After the breakdown I contacted Carey to draw on his extensive knowledge of how their conversions are wired. He spent considerable time helping me trouble shoot the issue but we had no luck getting the car running. I was feeling a bit down about the lack of prospects to get the car diagnosed and repaired because I have no shops in my area that I would trust with my car even if they would take it on. This is where I was amazed and blown away. Carey contacted me and informed me that Mike would be driving close to my home on his way back from delivering a new car and picking up a couple of consignment cars and he would be happy to stop by to look at my car. Customer service of this type is rare in my experience but the norm for Special Edition. Mike arrived at my home yesterday around 4:30 PM. He brought a loaner ECU and extra relay cluster. He found that swapping the ECU and relays didn't fix the issue. We then lifted the car up on my lift and Mike started ripping into the main harness bundle located just under the ECU on the underside of the Speedster. Mike is the one who did most if not all of the conversion work to my car. He was looking for a 25 amp main fuse holder. Upon finding it he discovered that it had disintegrated. The wiring showed no signs of overheating so he thinks it may have been a faulty fuse holder that had been arcing current for some time and finally fell apart. We bought a new one at the local auto parts store and Mike soldered it in place and the car started and ran fine. Mike hung around while the car ran for the next 20 minutes of so with no issue or hot wiring. I am still going to be watching for any overheating wiring in the days to come. I hope it was only a faulty fuse holder. That said, I want to thank Carey and Mike for their help and amazing service. We are all fortunate to have them supporting our replica car hobby.
