There could be many reasons for the check engine light coming on and I believe the only way to tell what is going on is to plug into the diagnostic port with a scanner and see what codes come up.

Tell us news.

its located on the top rear of motor,open the hood and look on the driverside toward the back of engine.

The brake lights switch is located on, or activated by the brake pedal.

Seems it needs to be adjusted or replaced.

Good Luck

check your CV joints on your front drive axles. they will sometimes grind or click when braking or turning.

try that see how you get on

INFO:
Your alternator may be pushing higher voltage.

RECOMENDATION:
Have the alternator checked for high voltage. You can even measure it yourself with a voltmeter on the battery while car is running. it should be around 14.2.

Hope this tip helps.

Drive you vehicle to the nearest Auto Zone and they will do a FREE SCAN on your Outbacks computer. That will show what codes are causing the check engine light to come on. They will advise what is needed plus they can quote you prices on most anything for it too

check for any sources of magnetism near the compass, speakers, phones, mobile phone accessories etc, there could be something in the glove box, empty the car of anything likely to have a magnet in it and check the compass again.

CHECK THE SWITCH BETWEEN THE DASH CLOCKS AND THE STEERING WHEEL U MAY HAVE TURNED THAT ON BY MISTAKE

Several things to check out. Is the fan coming on? Could be a bad thermostat. Faulty water pump

You need some bathtub silicone sealer and some black electrical tape and a couple of small wooden blocks. Carefully break out the cracked mirror. WEAR gloves and glasses when you do this and have a bucket to catch the falling glass. Make sure the mirror back is clean and put a bead of silicone around the back of the new mirror. Keep it about 1/4 inch from the edge and some dabs in the center portion. Place the mirror on the back and tape one edge down using a wooden block for a spacer. Then do the other side. Make the tape snug so it squashes the silicone and leave the mirror alone for 24 hours. After that take the tape and blocks off and you are good to go. Hope this helps.

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. Please hook up the remote wire and the power antenna wire to the blue factory amp wire. This will let you hear the sound when cd is played. After the above step is performed, then remove the detachable front panel. Behind the front panel, to the right of the connector, there is a small hole. Using a ball-point pen or other pointed object, press the RESET switch mounted behind this hole. This will reset your system and you will be able to hear the sound again from CD.


To access the CD follow the step-by-step procedure from the links---
