2008 Subaru Forester Electrical Failure

Topic starter

My ‘08 Subaru Forester has 110K miles. Key Fob, Radio, Clock and internal lights recently stopped working. Trip odometer resets when I turn off the car. I have checked the cabin and engine bay fuses - all seems fine.
What should I look out for?

Did you check the fuses inside the cabin as well? If they checked out, you may have issues with the BCM.

You're having issues with things which have Power On at "Key Off".

In your case those components probably share power from the same underhood fuse.

Maybe locate your "Clock" fuse in the underhood fuse box and make sure there's power on both legs of the fuse by testing the "test tabs" with a test light.

If there is power on both tabs, pull the fuse and check for corrosion in the contacts where the fuse plugs into the fuse box.

Thank you for your solutions, I had to check all the fuses one by one because the fuse box doesn’t have clear labels for the component controlled by each fuse. Was a nightmare, but it solved the problem. There was a burnt out 15Amps fuse that controls the radio, lighting and clock on engine bay. The key fob fuse located under the dash was blown too.
