I have a 2002 Outback Sedan with VDC. I recently had a run in with a flat tire and I wanted to disable to rear wheels for the spare. I followed the manual and attempted to insert a fuse into the FWD slot under the hood. The fuse wouldn't press in fully and the FWD warning light never came on. There seems to be a yellow plastic piece running the length of the fuse box that is preventing the fuse from seating properly.
I did some research and found a couple of pictures of Subarus with that same yellow plastic piece, at least one of them was a manual transmission. From what I've read the fuse on the VDC cars doesn't actually disable the rear wheels, it just turns off VDC. But if that's the truth I should still be able to insert the fuse and have the "VDC off" light come on.
I ended up driving with the spare on the rear of the car, disabling VDC using the button on the dash, and slowing down and turning it back off any time I went above 40MPH.
Does anybody know what this yellow plastic piece is and why it is there? What is the proper procedure for driving with the spare tire?

With the car up on 4 jack stands, engine running, handbrake off and the shifter in 'P'ark the rear wheels turn slowly with the front wheels still. I didn't expect any of the tyres to turn in this situation.
Did this a couple of times with the same result. Read up in the mechanism and function...
