I would first check the fuse. They are usually on the same circuit, so I would say fuse. Otherwise a shorted wire is possible. you can pry out the lighter and check that the wire is on the lighter socket.

Bring the vehicle to a repair shop. This could be a dash board nightmare and you have to discon the SRS system before working on the vehicle.
Or its the position switch or its actuators. It a little tricky to remove the switch to see what happens once you do that and jump the terminals. The relay is pretty easy to check out with a voltmeter. Its your call the actuators are a pain to get to.

Hello, there will be 2 (14mm) nuts on each exhaust manifold flange if it's a 2.2 liter and 3 (14mm)on each if it's a 2.5 liter. Remove your under shield if equipped and then there is a bracket mounted on the rear of the transmission on the passengers side of the trans that the exhaust is bolted to(14mm). then the 2 bolts with the small springs must also be removed (bolts are 14mm/nuts are 12mm). You can't forget about the oxygen sensor connectors, they must be disconnected first, one should be towards the back of the trans and the other at the front, both coming off of the exhaust. It's easiest to locate the sensors first then follow the wires to the connectors. I hope this info helps...(subyguru)...

You need to check that the compressor is running, if this does not work could be due to lack of freon, electrical problems, if the compressor runs you can touch the thick tube that goes into the evaporator has to be cold, if cold and in the car does not come the cold is due to problems at the gate of the evaporator or problem in the control panel for air conditioning. Thanks

Its a yellow plug located under the steering coloum.

Apply a coat of oil to washer and bolt threads.

After doing this tighten them further to 69nm (51ft lbs) in the same order as above.
Back off (loosen) all bolts 180 degrees in same order as above.
Then back them off again another 180 degrees.
Tighten all bolts in the order above to 29nm (22ft lbs) followed by a further 80 to 90 degrees
Tighten all bolts in order as above a further 40 - 45 degrees
Tighten bolts Top Middle and Bottom Middle another 40 - 45 degrees

Job done.

If i remember correctly it should be located on the radiator. near the lower rad hose.

put the car on a jack drop the fuel pump making sure it is empty then on the top of the pump the is a connector pull that off and with an ohm turn the key to on and test that the plug is getting amps if it is then you need a new fuel pump but I’m pretty sure that’s the reason is your fuel pump when bad

After a review of your question. We have concluded that you may have a failed head gasket, If you have overheated it the will now have a cracked head.

RECOMENDATION:

1. Seek professional help and contact your local repair shop.

2. Go to your parts store and pick up a can of block sealer follow the directions explicitly and you may just have a chance of calming down your engine.

Hope this tip guides you to a solution that can help you.

Check your IAT . It controls fuel supply at start up. If it tells the computer the motor is cold it will flood the engine giving it extra fuel. Good luck and have a great day.

There is a locking solenoid under the plastic shroud around you shifter. When you put on your brake the solenoid is supposed to pull back to release the shifter.
The buzzing you are hearing is that solenoid trying to pull back. Going to have to replace it.

if you have a remote then use it to lock and unlock a couple of times.
if not then you can go to the passenger's door and put the key in the lock and turn a couple of times. hope this works

change the bulb

sounds like the starter again...was the first one warrenty'd?

you need to remove the rear driveshaft in order to get to the seal

Transmission Dip Stick is on the bell housing. It is hard to see on this one look closely. Hope this Tip helps. R/ David

my 1997 sub outback wont restart
i replaced the crank sen. it dose get spark
the fuel dose pump out when i take line off exit at filter when key is turned on and also when cranked
diagnostic test says po141- 02sensor heater circuit malfunction and
p0325 knock sensor bank 1 or single sensor would any of this cause it not to restart if not i heard maybe the temp. send. but the coolent gauge reads good and coolent fans turn on it is not overheating

If it is an automatic, look on the dipstick. most manufacturers put fluid type recomendations on the trans dipstick.

very. the manual box is quite tough, as are most subaru parts. I have had a lot of imprezas and a legacy and they are quite bullet-proof except for a fuel starvation fault in hard-tuned turbo models but that due to fuel rail design and too much boost ;)

Probably down to a faulty switch, try bypassing the switch by using something metal (paper clip etc) to touch the conectors and complete the circuit while the car is hot enough that the fan should be on. If this solves it you need a new switch. If not look at thermostat?
