Sounds like you’re talking about an automatic trans.
I’m no expert, but aside from removing the front CV axles, I’m not aware of a method of making a manual AWD a rear wheel drive or vice versa.

You are correct and I stand corrected! The fuse to disable the AWD and put the car in FWD is only on the automatic transmission models and used specifically when you have to put the donut spare on the car as per the owners manual.
My friend has a 4 post drive on lift, where the front wheels of the vehicle drive up and into a saddle, then the rear wheels drive forward and the front wheels in the saddle slide along the horizontal members of the lift until the rear wheels are on the lift. With my automatic transmission Subarus I have to add the fuse to put them in FWD mode and back onto the lift. With my manual transmission Subaru we have to move the front wheel saddle of the lift forward and then drive onto the lift in one step.
