Check engine light on traction control light on cruise light blinking whats wrong?
When you have a check engine light come on, the traction control light and the cruise lights both come on as well. You need to have the codes checked with a scanner. There most likely isn't a problem with the traction control or cruise systems, the lights turn on because those systems work together with the engine management system or PCM. When there is an engine problem that sets a code that turns on the check engine light, it automatically disables the cruise control and traction control for safety reasons. Because the last thing you want is to have an issue with traction control and/or cruise control if your engine is having an issue, which is why they are disabled. The most common problem that turns on the check engine light is a loose, cross-threaded, or snug but not tight enough fuel filler cap. Subaru recommends three clicks of the cap to be considered tight. Also, any parts store can and will check and/or clear codes for free. I hope this info helps!

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.
