The question is why do you think it should? Is there an overheating problem with your Outback?
There is a switch above the steering column that you need to flip back. I think it's there so you can have a little light when camping without draining the battery as much but I'm not sure.
Depends if you have the ignition running or just the say you left the lights on. If you just left the ignition on all night nothing will happen except just running out of fuel. If you left your lights on without ignition running your battery will die.

99 jeep Cherokee Laredo stay running after turn off the ignition switch?

Switch on top steering column was flipped . clean car recently?
I had to do this on my 96 850, and no, I did not have to have it running, just on accessories on ignition.
