A lot of parts/accessory catalogs list "Subaru Truck" for the Forester.
It is a truck by US import regs, probably done to get past some
smog/CAFE issues.

The OP has '93 Impreza 1.8l - not remotely 'truck like'.
And I'm pretty sure US regs consider the Forester a 'station wagon'
despite it's attempt to appear SUV-ish.

check with www.subarugenuineparts.com (email Jamie through the

website) for a decent price (there are other on-line OEM sources too)
and maybe a faxed drawing of its location. Was any work done recently
under the hood? maybe a loose connector or broken wire?

I forget whether it was wiper blades or bulbs...but the catalog on the
rack definitely had a "Subaru Truck" section with Forester models in it.

I could be wrong about the Forester being flagged as a truck, it may
have been the Outback.. but Subaru requested that some of its vehicles
be classed as trucks to get around some Federal regs.

I DO recall the Outback getting some designation like that due to its
suspension height.

Don't blame her, she's only following the prompts on the screen to get to
the part number.
Like buying spark plugs for my 91 XR7, I tell the guyit's a Mercury Cougar
with the 5 liter high output and he says.....is that a 6 or 8
cylinder.....he's only following the prompts for him on the screen.
