This is bound to be a courtesy light switch on one of your doors. Check all the switches to see if they have been damaged. You may have to remove the rubber protection boot to do this. Once you find and replace the faulty switch, all should be well again.

That engine light indicates that your car's computer has identified the problem. Now you will have to have that computer scanned to obtain the trouble code and know what to fix. AAMCO transmission shops just started a program where they scan for free. Some auto parts stores also scan for free. Dealerships and other auto parts stores charge up to 100 dollars. Call around.

2002 subaru forester. Seems to be lacking in
If you have not performed a "tune-up" service on your vehicle recently I would strongly recommend replacing your spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, and an oil and filter change at the minimum. Usually if there is an actual problem with the engine the ECU will pick up on it and turn on the check engine light. That's why I am only recommending the tune up, this is the cheapest way to rule out those issues, and your car will love for it. I hope this info helps...(subytech1)...

Sounds like the differential to me, when the power drops you are probably crunching a broken piece thru the ring and pinion gears. This can be very dangerous, could lock the back wheels up while you are driving down the road and get you or someone else killed.
Changing the bulb in a Subaru headlight
This is not a trivial job. I would recommend you get all four bulbs for
whatever side you are replacing - do them all. The dealer-dude didn't
have the orange turn-signal bulb in stock, and said they don't see too
many replaced. I guess thats probably right since it was about ten
years ago when I last saw someone actually use their turn signal.
So step one - go get 3 (or 4 if you replace turn signal) bulbs. The front marker and side marker are the same bulb type.
Step two - remove the middle grill. The top connectors are visible
and you can use a flat-bladed screw driver to compress the side or top
and jiggle them so they pop loose. One you get the top part of the
grill loose - DO NOT just pull outward - you will break the non-visible
two lower connectors and get to go to the dealer again to get new ones.
Instead, to remove the grill once the top part is loose, PULL UP. These
light gray lower connectors are inbedded in the Head Lamp assembly.
The exterior trim piece is next. The two top black poppers need to
be jimmied up 1/4 inch and then they pull out. The trim piece has 3
additional attachment points that are hidden. About the middle and a
few inches to the outbound side, there are 2. They have an outbound
facing notch, and the trim piece needs to be tapped towards the outward
direction (side of the car) until it is free of them. This piece can
flex a bit - its OK - but don't overdo. The final attachment is at the
outermost corner that is a 1/4" male that plugs into a female fitting -
This can be carefully pulled out and the trim piece is off.
The next part is the Head Lamp Assembly. There are 3 screws which
the owners Manual actually correctly identifies. These come out. And
the assembly is basically loose, but attached by 4 cables going into
the Assembly. The Marker lights and turn signal are easy - just untwist
them. When you reconnect them - they have VERY different slot keys, so
you won't have trouble remembering which is which. The tough one is the
headlamp.
The connector to the bulb has a rubberized cover. You can't see it
while it is in place,but it has the word "PUSH" and two arrows on it
pointing at the sides. You need to press in on the sides, a little
higher than the middle, and disconnect the bulb connector. I had to
gently use channel locks to do this.
When the connector is removed, you can remove the rubber dam
material surrounding the light. It may stick, but this entire thing
will come off, making removal of the bulb a much simpler task.
Once this is removed, you will see a wire latch holding the lamp
in. Squeeze the wire latch (like pinching a clothes pin - kind of) at
the top and it should release the bulb, which can now be simply removed
from the enclosure.
Replacement is the reverse and will be much easier now that you see all the parts that were previously hidden.

Headlight low beam
Test to see if you have voltage at the bulb connector in low beam position. I'd almost bet that if there is no voltage there for the low beams that you have a bad high/low switch.
