Take your Forester, as soon as you can, to a qualified service technician. It is not normal to develop play in a steering wheel unless parts, such as tie rod ends, are worn out. This is a dangerous condition and needs immediate attention. --Ken

How do you replace a Subaru forester corner light?
Subaru Forester does not have cornering lights, so chances are you are asking about the front parking light. The housing is held on by one screw accessible under the hood. You then pull the housing toward the front of the car. Bottom of that housing has a ball stud that fits in a socket on a small ear on the headlamp housing. This will allow you to either change the bulb or change the entire housing. --Ken

Where is the turn signal flasher located on a Subaru Legacy?
I have a 1999 Subaru Legacy Outback. The flasher on this vehicle is on the left under the steering column. It is near the small fuse box and slips over a metal clip that is mounted on the left side. I found it by turning the flashers on then listening for it. I could also feel the vibration on the flasher as it clicked. I removed the panel under the steering column to expose the area, that is held in place with a couple of screws.
Where is the neutral safety switch on a Subaru Forester?
The neutral safety switch (automatic transmission) is located under the small oblong cover behind the gear shift lever - looking from the driver seat. You first need to remove the cover by a small screw driver and then you need to use (as an old Forester manual tells) the Subaru screwdriver to push the neutral safety switch down. Then you can move the gear shift lever to any position freely. I prepared a small rod and I'm storing in the ashtray that I do not come facing to very anoying situation anymore ..... The trailer's plug caused a short circuit and burned the fuse. At the next stop I was unable to move the gear shift lever from P-position. I was a total bolck of the traffic on that whole area. Unfortunately this piece of information is missing from the current version of Forester's manual and may cause several similar kind on difficult situations, what I already had.
Why 1998 Subaru Forester turn signal lights not workin although you have replaced all bulbs?
A likely cause is that the flasher has failed. On my 1999 Subaru Forester this is an inexpensive (~$10.00 from my local discount auto parts store) and small part. What I found was that obtaining the replacement part was easy and actually replacing it was challenging. The challenge is that the flasher is located near/on the firewall fairly high above the driver's footwell. For me this meant being in the driver's seat upside down with my head near the pedals, my feet on the back of the seat, and my arm snaking up through the wiring to access the flasher. Best of luck.
How do you get non-working running lights on a 2003 Subaru Legacy to go on?
Many modern Subarus have a small rocker switch on top of the steering column to operate the parking lights with. This switch will operate the lights regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.
