Trailer harness plug on early wagons

On a '95 wagon, I found what seems to be a pre-wired trailer harness connector. It's taped to the rear wiper relay, below the bottom edge of the access opening for the right taillight. The plug is 6-pin and seems identical to the trailer connector on the models known to have one. The location is similar as well. My guess would be that all '93 to '96 wagons may have a plug like this.

AFAIK They all do. Subaru is cool like that.

Thanks for confirming this. So it means one can use the plug-in trailer harness instead of splicing. But neither Subaru nor hitch mfrs. provide this info.
Do you think 1997-01 wagons would have the plug as well? I understand the rear wiring changed on those, at least there was no more plug for the cargo light.

00 and i don't remeber seeing one i have had the car torn appart acouple of times

Yeah. I'm pretty sure only 93-96 wagons have them. I know my '93 does.

xtian: I don't have any pics, but I'll try to describe where it it. Basically it's behind the right side taillight (if you're looking at the car from the back). You might be able to see it by taking the plastic grill off (the one that you would take off to replace the taillight bulbs) but you can definitely see it if you take the interior plastic panel off.
