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.
When driving at night with the headlights on, the radio and other display lights automatically dim. The bright button brightens those lights if you have trouble seeing them.
Normally this is caused by a defective brake light switch or one that is out of adjustment.
hi, behind the coin tray on the drivers side, you have to pull it out
I too know the frustration of Subaru check engine lights. The quick way is either black tape over the light on the dash or remove the bulb. Keep in mind that although you may know the code and the problem (both of mine routinely issue P0420 for a catalytic converter even though I've replaced same more than once) there may be additional problems crop up and you will get no additional warning. --Ken
Some Subarus have a switch on the top of the steering column that turns on the parking lights. Hopefully this is the problem and would be an easy fix. Daniel
Can't say for sure on the 2007, but my 2000 has a rocker switch at the top of the steering column to turn the parking lights on when the key is off.
My 2000 model has a switch on top of the steering column for leaving the parking lights on when the engine is off. I don't know if the 2001 has one also, but if it does, try switching that.
There is a second light switch that activates the parking lights without the key being on. It is on top of the steering column behind the steering wheel. If this switch is turned off and the lights remain on when the key is off, there is a malfunction in this circuit.
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
That means the alternator needs to be replaced. You probably found this out by now.
The 2001 Subaru Forester has dual beam (both low and high beam are produced from the same bulb) so the low beams are in the exact same place as the high beams. Normally if your fogs are switched on and you're in low-beam mode, you should have fogs and low-beams. When you switch to high-beam, its just high-beams (fogs turn off normally). Both bulbs could be burnt out, but most likely its a fuse issue. See sources and related links below for more information on bulbs.
