Some sort of failsafe so that if the ECM / TCM fails, you at least have one gear. You need an auto electrician to diagnose. A professional grade scan tool computer can diagnose in 30 minutes. They are bi-directional so they can instruct shift solenoids to operate and verify that they did. https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me ..

Check to see whether you've pinched any wiring when reinstalling your engine maybe you've inadvertently shorted a wire related to this circuit!

No warning lights on, check the A/T fluid, check the A/T oil strainer or filter

Hi, please first check for the corresponding fuse in the manual. If you can find it in your car manual or you need the manual, please cell Subaru directly at 1-800-782-2783. Thank you.

The first things you should verify ar as follows..

- Battery connections. Check if they are cleaned and tight. Also inspect the wires for corrosion or fraying.

- Fuses. Check the under hood fuse box for fuses that are burned. If you have no power to any systems in the car it may be a main fuse that is burned.

- Check that any ground connections around the fuse box are tight and free from corrosion.

Hi, The best thing in this situation might be to take the car to your subaru dealer in order to have them fix the automated seatbelt process for you. Thank you.

fix dead head lamps first on all cars made 100 year running. the work key on and key off or no key at all, by law here.

1. battery dead. load test it.
2. fuses blown
3. alternator died causing #1

the users manual covers this in the glove box, if lost the manuals seem hard to find , free. lacking that test all fuses. i use this https://eautorepair.net/Marketing/Default.asp

From a Subaru mechanic:The FWD slot should not have a fuse in it. Remove the fuse and the AWD will work as it should. The slot is there for us to put a fuse in to test the rear portion of the AWD. With the fuse in, it shuts off power to the rear wheels.Remove the fuse and retest.From the mechanic I chatted with, the fuse should not be there - except when they are testing the AWD. I would take it out.He did say that if you run into a problem where the rear drive is not working correctly, you can put the fuse in, but ONLY LONG ENOUGH TO GET TO A SERVICE STATION - it is NOT meant as along term soluution

read the service manual yet, that is true, I love mech windows, I had a friend drowned door jammed under water, and electrics dead. sad, to the 10000 power. for those folks keep fist sized rock in the glove box. and smash out the side windows, they shatter easy. and LIVE. https://eautorepair.net/Marketing/Default.asp

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to Model Category. For strangeness like that you need the dealership. I would normally suggest a transmission specialist, but they will likely tell you that you need a new transmission.

cycle the ignition key on and off 3 times
