It is extremely simple. Loosen the screw, believe it is a hex head but may be torx, on the bottom of the crossbar and the crossbars will pop right off.

Vdc and check engine light on no traction in snow or rain 2004 subaru outback h6

Even with the VDC light on it shouldn't fishtail. Unless you have a lead foot or the tires are bald. Best to have the codes read. Could just be a bad wheel sensor.

When I first start driving my 2001 Outback it steers easily. As the car warms up it becomes harder to steer?

rack and pinion leaking internally. Fluid gets hot/warm, gets thinner, then starts to bypass seals and such in the rack/pinion or pump.

VDC Light stays on, then start to heats up

test the scanner and computer test for most effective result.
However see if fan/waterpump drive belt is slipping. Coolant is frozen
inlet or outlet water hoses are clogged or kinked. Coolant tube is blocked. Temperature gause is defective. Water pump defective. Fan is too far from radiator,(close it) .Defective water distribution tube. replace the tube. Fan insuficient blade are or pitch replace with large fan or with more blades.

Go to Autozone,com and register your car on their site. They have fusebox layouts. It sounds like a relay is sticking in the light relays.

Sounds like the belt let go and maybe got jammed on the way out. The belt power the alternator, power steering pump and water pump etc. Check for a seized pulley as well. Sometimes the little bearings go.

2001 SUBARU OUTBACK, MARKER LIGHTS STAY ON WITH IGNITION KEY REMOVED.

The first thing I would check is on top of the steering column is a flip switch. Please flip switch. That is put there so you may have the marker lights on in case of emergency. Hope this helps and have a great day.

The ABS,Brake Light,Battery light go on and off sporadically while driving.Does this indicate an Alternator failure or a sensor/computer problem?

yes it's most likely a alternator problem,usually the internal diode bridge breaks causing all lights you mentioned to come on,if this happens at a idle open the hood and remove green connector on alt.if lights go out you've found the problem
