Is heater/clock/stereo on same fuse?
Typical - as soon as it gets cold I lose the heater (temp and fans) as well as the clock and the stereo. Do all these items share the same fuse? 
Have checked all fuses under bonnet - and none appear to have blown? Diagram on fuse box only seems to show 'clock'
Please can anyone help? Otherwise I'm gonna freeze my b*llocks off tomorrow morning
Edit -> its 01 WRX wagon by the way

Hi All
Update - found that the 15A fuse for Stereo (in fuse box inside car) had blown.
Put another one in, started car - and it blew straight away
Still no heater or clock
(all fuses for heater are okay)
Any ideas? Is the stereo shorting out? Shoudl I take it out?
Ended up driving t'other halfs car to work - Ibize 1.4 doesnt like hills!

Notice that a new thread has sprung up about this - could it be a common problem on the newer models?

Just took head unit out - still same problem
Do any of the 50A fuses or relays in the "under-the-bonnet" fusebox control all of this stuff? Otherwise I'm stumped

It is now fixed 
It was a cable from a previous owners install of a sub (in the boot) - they had left the end of the wires bare (not insulated)
when they took it all out, and over time (1.5 years - maybe too many fast corners?) the wire touched the bodywork and created a short. If I find the previous owner I'm gonna give them a slap.
Many thanks to Prosport
