2000 Subaru Outback high Beam headlight replacement technique?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Start by removing the plastic protective cover by twisting to the right and pulling off. The low beam light is a small halogen light at the top of the two light clusters. The lower light is the high beam light (part 9005 typically). The low beam light goes into the light casing at the top under the funny dome like structure and is reflected backwards onto the light casing to create the low beam. It's a $12 part usually. One plug, one spring, no tools required for drivers side, 10MM socket to remove airscoop intake on passenger side in order to get to light cover.

Your 1998 outback anti theft alarm is on and your car wont start with key any way to reset the alarm?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Dude, sounds like overkill. There is a button under the dash that you depress and you'll be able to start car. If its OEM equip there's a way to disable alarm and still use remote key. to find button (run left hand down the outer edge of dash where padded dash meets hard plastic - then slide to the right and feel or look around . It may be black and hard to find - its small)

== == == == I also have a 1998 subaru legacy outback with the factory alarm system. The alarm was stuck on. The remote buttons seemed to stop the alarm while the button was depressed but it would continue after the button was released. I was not able to turn the alarm off or start the engine. I tried disconnecting the battery cable, and when it was reconnected , the alarm picked up where it left off. The whole time the alarm sounded muffled and not as loud as normal. We used a jumper battery pack. The alarm got louder when that was connected, and i was able to turn it off with the remote at that point. I bought a new battery and that seemed to fix the problem until today. (about 1 week later) The alarm went off as soon as i shut the car off. The remote button would not shut it off. This time however i WAS able to start the car with the key. I drove it home and when i shut it off that time, the alarm did not sound. Not exactly sure what the problem is. I was parked on a slight hill. Dont think i accidentaly hit the panic button or anything. I'll replace the remote battery tonite, maybe that has something to do with it.

How do you change the spark plugs on a 2.5L 4-cylinder 2001 outback?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

get under the car and do it from there. you will have to put socket in first then the extension, then the rachet. that is the only way i did it. I just got done. On the left side (standing at the front facing the back) remove all of the air intake stuff, 4 bolts. On the right side, remove the washer fluid tank, 2 bolts and 2 connectors. Took me about 25 minutes including new plug wires.

How do you replace the rear differential bushings on a 2001 outback?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The first step to replacing the rear differential bushings on a 2001 outback is to gather the necessary tools and materials. To complete the project you will need a hydraulic jack a ratchet a socket set a torque wrench new bushings and an axle puller.

  1. Jack up the car Use the hydraulic jack to raise the car off the ground and support it with jack stands. Make sure the car is secure and wont move.
  2. Remove the axle shaft Use the ratchet and socket set to loosen and remove the axle shaft bolts. Then using the axle puller remove the axle shaft from the differential.
  3. Replace the bushings Remove the old bushings and replace them with the new ones. Make sure the bushings are properly aligned and seated.
  4. Reinstall the axle shaft Reinstall the axle shaft and use the torque wrench to tighten the bolts to the correct specifications.

Once the new bushings are installed and the axle shaft is secured you can lower the car and test drive it to ensure that the differential is functioning properly.

What is wrong with a 2001 Legacy Outback when you turn off the car and the tail lights stay on?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Try checking the brake light switch.

The brake lights are working fine. The running lights are staying on.

The solution was the parking light switch on top of the steering column was in the "on" position. Switched it to off and problem solved. Actually never used the switch, guess one of the kids was playing with it...

Thank you! That was a simple fix - i didn't even know that switch was there!

How do you reset immobilizer on 2009 outback?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The immobilizer is the system that prevents your car from being stolen by including a computer chip in the ignition key. The car will start without this chip but will cease running in a few seconds. Your Subaru dealer is the only one I know of that has equipment to reprogram this system. If it was easily reset there wouldn't be much value to it.

Where is the block heater on 2008 Subaru Outback?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No mention of a block heater in the service manual.

It appears that they install heaters on the left side rear of the engine. Of course this type of heater plugs in to household power so if you have one it should be fairly easy to find the cord/plug and trace it back to the heater.

Why would my Air conditioner in 2002 subaru outback stop working?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, it depends on what it's doing really. If it's blowing not cool air, it means your out of refrigerant which is due to a leak, and the leak can either be repaired, or you can take a chance that it is a slow leak and just have them recharge it, however you may have to do that every few years or months depending on how bad the leak is.

However, if it is not working at all, it may be due to a bad compressor, or an electrical problem that a car mechanic will have to really dig into...aka money.

Does a 1999 Subaru outback exahaust system fit a 1997 Subaru outback exhaust system?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not necessarily. I took a look at a supplier and if you have the same engine, the front pipe is the same number. It is very likely that since the car bodies of these two are from the same series first generation Outback, and they have the same engine, the exhaust will interchange.
