2008 Subaru Impreza Questions & Answers
My marker lights on my 2008 Subaru impreza do not work .
The first step is to verify that the tail light bulbs are not burned out. I Next step is check
a) if you get+12v on the bulb, and
b) check for poor grounds to rear light cluster.
There is a fuse for parking lights. If all this check out then trace the wiring harness under the carpet from the driver seat to the rear for rust/water damage.
At oil temp check engine & cruise light
Maybe.
You would need to get the engine computer scanned for trouble codes to proceed. As long as the check engine light is on the cruise light may stay too.
Power steering
The belt and the tension on the belt may be the problem. The belt will be available from the dealer spares department or any other auto spares shops . Some pumps start to become noisy if the turn is held on full lock as it makes the relief valve in the pump work . To check this turn on hard lock and if the noise appears back of the turn a little and the noise should abate
Why does the car rev high when A/C is on?
Because it takes more power to operate the air conditioner when it cycles.The throttle position sensor kicks up the idle a few hudred r.p.m.s so it doesnt bog your motor down.
Need to know what "sport" means when starting
The "Sport" light has to do with what position you have your suspension control in. If you need an Owner's Manual you can download a free one after opening an account at
MySubaru. This is the official web site for Subaru owners.
Windshield wiper linkage
This is a bit of an awkward one on that car, but you have to remove the wiper arms, then remove the retaining nuts on the spindles, the wiper motor and get to the inner wiper control arms. There's a chance that one of the nylon cups which connect the control/drive arms has popped off and simply needs to be reconnected.
