    Anyone know where the fuse box is on a 2005 WRX and how to change out a blown fuse? Is there a specific size or style that I need to get for the replacement?

    One under the hood, by washer fluid reservoir on driver side strut tower. Another behind the "coin tray", when sitting in the driver's seat it will be behind the little cubby by your left knee. Mini fuses

    Do you know which one serves the radio and cell phone charging port? I would assume it would be the one behind the coin tray, but you never know...

    Should be in/behind the coin tray. Remove the coin tray and look at the back. Find the one that says “radio” and pull it out. Replacement is a 15amp fuse. Second one down, third from the left in the pic. Fuses are super cheap at Napa, autozone, etc
