Remove the fuse from the main fuse box.Then the solenoid connect the rear wheels and u will enjoy the AWD drive.

Under the hood on the right (passenger) side on the firewall near the hood hinge. It is black with white lettering "FWD". Subaru does not recommend that you place the vehicle in FWD mode for every day driving. It is for use only as a test mode because it does change the handling characteristics of your Forester. --Ken
It's in the same place on every Subaru, Upper left hand side under the hood! And just so you know the "fwd" is for TOWING PURPOSES ONLY!!!!!!!! DO NOT DRIVE YOU SUBARU IN FWD!!!!!!
Perhaps there is a fuse in the fwd fuse box under the hood?
The 4wd is automatic in the 1992 Subaru Legacy Wagons. There is an empty fuse under the hood that has a cover that says FWD that can be used to disable the 4wd and force it to be in front wheel drive, but by default, there should not be a fuse in it. When there is a fuse in the FWD connector, the dashboard will have a warning light that says FWD, indicating that you do not have 4wd enguaged. If the light is not lit and you do not have 4wd then you have a transmission issue that will likey need the expertise of a transmission specialist. Check the transmission error codes (as opposed the the standard engine error codes.) They will likely help you pinpoint the problem.
there is a bypass fuse by the firewall, passenger side were you can put a fuse in there to disable fwd
No, unless you change the undercarriage and everything needed.
If the AWD has been disabled a light on the dash will indicate "FWD". Otherwise, if it drives smoothly and gives no indication of a problem, it is working. The Subaru AWD mechanism very seldom fails but when they do there will be no question that something is wrong. Enjoy your car.
It's not in the fuse box. Looking at the engine from the front it's in the top corner, marked FWD. You open it up and bam, there it is.
No. The svx is a all wheel drive vehicle. In order to put the 1992 subaru svx in front wheel drive only you have to put a fuse in the fwd fuse slot located behind the ac fuse slot. The fuse box is under the hood behind the battery.
Put a fuse in the circuit labeled "FWD" under the hood on the passenger side.
Im not sure if this is your problem but the fuse to switch from awd to fwd is ground not hot. So if the wire is skinned somewhere and grounding out it could cause that.
passenger side of firewall, near strut mount under the platic clip that reads FWD.
