I have a 03 subaru outback sedan that makes noise in the front driver side when pressing the brakes.

The brake booster is not connect to the wheels. More likely is that the oe or more of caliper slides are jammed with rust. If one usually the lower one) is jamming, the caliper twists on the rotor and the pads make all sort of rattling or squeaking noise. A worn wheel bearing allows the pads to be pushed away from the rotor: a mushy brake pedal or grinding noises are the common result.

My Outback AC when you

Howdy Grichards360, Not knowing the AGE of your AC only makes it a wee bit harder to speculate... (good news though)... INTERMITENT operation = cheap & easy. SUFFICE it to say REALLY EXPENSIVE issues are like HATE & UGLY... They stay (and accumulate). My BEST GUESS is your system pressure is right at the THRESHOLD where designers have CORRECTLY (even mercifully) decided it is marginal enough not to USELESSLY operate the components at all... An ideal time (and stable enough system) to "top-up" your refrigerant charge... (see below) unless you live in CALIFORNIA ... you should easily be able to purchase a kit to accomplish this TASK yourself. Two CAUTIONS here: 1). Refrigerants can be quite dangerous... (read & heed precautions (especially refrigerant TYPE)). 2). "Top-Up" is a STUNT... Proper maintenance would dictate a serious consideration be given to PROPER lubrication. If this is the first time in 10 or 15years you will PROBABLY be fine... (ELSE: study up or comment back). Hope this helps Carnac the Magnificent

Car hesitates and backfires when warmed up from a dead stop

Do a injector leak down test to rule out leaky injectors. Leaky injector will drip excess fuel into the intake on dead stop. Back fire will damage intake manifold gasket and waste fuel.

When i turn my car off the lights are staying on

I am assuming you mean the parking lights. The most obvious problem is that the parking light switch on the steering column (top, between the steering wheel and speedometer) got turned ln accidentally. If this is not the problem and you mean the headlights, the DRL relay is probably bad and needs to be changed.

Factory radio reset

Hi Logan, You need to take your registration papers with your licence (licence is to prove YOU own the car) to a car dealer ie: Holden, Ford, Toyota, Chrysler and ask at the sales office for the RADIO SECURITY PIN NUMBER, You'll receive your BCM security number, Car key number-Ignition, Radio security pin number and Radio serial number. These numbers belong to that car and once you have them DON'T loose them because in Australia some dealers charge a fee and some don't.... Hope this helped....CHEERS..
