Is how to reset the system in a 2009 Subaru outback after ignition switch and key computer change dash lights are not working and fuel pumps not coming on
Resetting the system after an ignition switch and key computer change in a 2009 Subaru Outback may involve several steps. Here are some general steps that you can try:
**1. Check Fuses: Verify that all relevant fuses are intact. A blown fuse could be causing issues with the dash lights and fuel pump. Consult your vehicle's manual to locate the fuse box and check the appropriate fuses related to the dashboard and fuel pump.
**2. Security System Reset: Sometimes, a change in the ignition system can trigger the vehicle's security system. Try resetting the security system by locking and unlocking the doors using the key fob. If your vehicle has an immobilizer system, make sure the new key is programmed correctly.
**3. Battery Disconnect: Disconnect the vehicle's battery for about 15-30 minutes. This can help reset various systems in the car. After reconnecting the battery, start the car and check if the issues persist.
**4. ECU (Engine Control Unit) Reset: If the engine control unit was replaced or modified, you may need to perform an ECU reset. This typically involves disconnecting the battery, turning on the ignition (without starting the engine) for a few seconds, turning it off, and then reconnecting the battery.
**5. Reprogramming Keys: If new keys were added or the computer was changed, make sure that the new keys are programmed correctly to the vehicle's anti-theft system. Refer to your vehicle's manual or contact the dealership for guidance on key programming.
**6. Consult a Professional: If the issues persist after attempting these steps, it's advisable to consult a professional mechanic or contact the Subaru dealership for assistance. They may have specialized tools and knowledge to diagnose and address issues related to the ignition system and key computer.
Remember to exercise caution when working with electrical components in your vehicle, and if you're not comfortable performing these steps, seek assistance from a qualified mechanic or Subaru service center.

Subaru liberty 2012 boot won't look, could it be a fuse and how can I replace it please
If the boot of your 2012 Subaru Liberty is not locking, it could be due to a blown fuse. Here are the steps to check and replace the fuse:
- Locate the fuse box in your vehicle. The fuse box is usually located on the driver's side of the vehicle, under the dashboard.
- Open the fuse box and locate the fuse for the boot lock. The location and labeling of the fuse may vary depending on your vehicle model and year. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for the specific fuse location and labeling.
- Check the fuse to see if it is blown. A blown fuse will have a broken wire inside or the fuse element will appear melted. If the fuse is intact, it may not be the cause of the problem.
- If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new one of the same amperage rating. You can find replacement fuses at most auto parts stores.
- Test the boot lock to see if it is working properly. If it still doesn't lock, there may be a different issue that requires further diagnosis by a mechanic.
Note: Always replace fuses with the same amperage rating as the original fuse. Using a fuse with a different rating can cause damage to the electrical system or create a fire hazard.
