Where is the starter on a 1997 Subaru legacy 4-door automatic?
To find the starter on any car, follow the heavy lead from the positive terminal on the battery. A dedicated cable will connect to the starter.
I just replaced the starter on my 1998 Subaru Legacy L Wagon. Some notes on that process:
The starter is at the back of the engine compartment, driver's side, accessible from the top. It's tight, but I changed out the starter without getting under the car.
Begin by unhooking the negative lead of the battery; the positive supply to the starter is unswitched and will be hot otherwise.
There are two main bolts holding the starter in place. Remove the positive cable from the lug by removing the nut and washer, and pull off the ignition switch lead (these are next to each other on the upper side). The ground cable is attached to a bracket that is held on by the upper attachment bolt. When you remove the upper bolt the cable and bracket will be free. I left the bracket attached to the ground strap.
The upper bolt is 14mm, the lower nut (which goes on a stud that stays in place) is 17mm. You will need several different size socket-wrench extensions (I used two 3" extensions on bottom and one on top) to get in a position to work. (It would, at minimum, take a lot of patience to do this with a wrench.) The order in which the bolt and nut are removed doesn't appear to be important.
The nut on the underside can't be seen from above, so must be done "blind." Look at the replacement starter to see where the nut will be, and what the shape of the casing is around it. Small hands are an advantage here.
There's not a lot of room to work, and it's hard to get enough leverage, so I found a small length of curved metal electrical conduit very handy as a cheater bar. (Real mechanics should get a chuckle out of that.) In replacing the bolts, they really should be torqued to specifications, but I used the "pretty tight plus a half turn" approach. Hard to imagine getting a torque wrench in there, unless you happen to have a power ratchet with a torque setting - in which case, you shouldn't need any advice.
As always, get both the bolt and the nut snugged up before the final tightening. It is not necessary to worry about the alignment of the part, which is accomplished by the stud and bolt. Replace the positive cable and the ignition lead.
Check and see if you've knocked any hoses off (there are several right in the way); I had. The last step is to replace the negative battery cable. The running lights will begin to flash when the battery is reconnected. This is normal (some sort of anti-theft thing, I think) and will stop when a button on the keyless entry is pressed.
The job will take about 30 minutes if you are skilled, perhaps 90 minutes if you're at the "oil change" level of competence. If you can't put a washer and nut on by feel, then you might get stuck in the middle of the operation. Good luck.
*These steps worked great. Thanks for the instructions. Just a note, I put the car on ramps and found it much easier to loosen and tighten the lower bolt from below. Not only because I could see the bolt, but I also found that I had better leverage from underneath. Also a bit of PB Blaster really helped with the takeoff.

distributor rotor turns counter-clockwise
cylinder layout:
FRONT OF CAR
2 1
4 3
On the distributor cap, #1 position points toward the PASSENGER REAR of the car, and is probably also marked on the cap. #1 cylinder uses the SHORTEST spark plug wire. Then #3 distributor cap position points toward the PASSENGER FRONT of the car, and uses a longer spark plug wire. Then, going counter-clockwise, is #2 distributor cap position, then #4 dist. cap position.
What causes a clicking under the dashboard on Subaru Outback?
I just had this happen- I disconnected the battery to try and reset the ECU, and when I plugged it back the clicking started. Apparently it was the remote door lock- just try unlocking/locking your car a few times and see if that helps.
How hard is it to change front wheel bearing on Subaru Legacy sedan?
Very, very, very hard. You need all of the necessary tools to remove the steering knuckle and the right size press to press out the old bearing and install the new one.
Why is the ECS light blinking in your subaru wagon?
I did a search on Google and in a service manual but I have not found an ECS light.
If you are referring to the "check engine" light, according to sites on the Internet this means your vehicle is experiencing a misfire. You should not drive the vehicle while this is happening because you can do serious and expensive damage to the catalytic converter and possibly start a fire.
Where is cylinder 1 located on a 2002 V6 subaru?
I found out today that it is on the driver's side of the car. This matters when you need to know which bank 1 O2 sensor is talking to you.
How do I disable a Subaru legacy seat warmer?
You can pop the switch panel out of the center console and unplug either or both of the switches to disable the seat warmer.
How do you replace the fog light switch on a subaru legacy 2000?
If yours is the same as mine then, if you look at the speedo controls, you will find 4 screws, 2 on the inside top and 2 on the bottom of the plastic trim which houses the fog switches and heated rear demister and headlamp washer if you have it. carefully prize the trim out being very careful as you dont want to break any wires, you will see the connectors going to the switches. i would disconnect all so it's easier to work on, you press a little button on the side of the clip and pull and the connectors should come off. Then remove the fog switch which is just clipped in and put new one in. put trim back and you should be fine. Mark connectors so you don't forget which goes where. All in all this job should take no more than 45 minutes and that is me allowing more than enough extra time for someone who has never done this task before.
The automatic seat belts will not work on your Subaru?
I hope someone responds soon. Mine are often intermittent and can find no info. elsewhere.
What year and model is your Subie? I have a 1991 Legacy and I pulled the automatic system out and replaced it with the standard seatbelts from a 1995-1999 Legacy. You could try replacing the seatbelt control unit which on the Legacy sedan, lives behind the carpet panel in the trunk near the left side of the trunk hinge and in the wagon its the same general area in the cargo compartment. I have the passenger side auto seatbelt parts for the Legacy if you're in need.

How do you stop water from entering through the tail light assembly of a 1997 Subaru Legacy?
Don't know how to stop, but many friends of mine drill a tiny hole at the very bottom of the Taillight, so the water drains-out and you avoid causing a short circuit/blown bulb.
Is there a fuse for the speakers?
there should be a fuse for the audio system in the car fusing panel, but if for the speakers only- then that should be within the audio system itself.
