Starting problem Subaru outback Legazy 1996 does not crank I already checked Battery starter selenoid cables fuses in park and neutral There's no voltage going to selenoid verified thnks?

You should have to push the clutch to start the car. Is this switch working? I have seen a lot of import ignitions that loose contact in the switch. Do the dash lights come on, the oil, charge, temp, indicators? Does the radio play? If they do then I would look at the switch. If they don't, look at a fuseable link, or one of the connections at the battery on the positive side.

Your 2005 Outback Subaru wagon keeps blowing headlights.first left then right.back to left you are on the fifth change Any notion as to why?

Hello

I was having the same problem! Finally I found out that the new "super bright" lights should NOT be used in a car that has daytime running lights. So once I put the cheap GE lights in they have lasted longer than any set that I had put in before! And they are just as bright as the "super bright" lights are anyway.

What are car stereo wiring color codes for a 2003 Subaru Outback?

Where is release button by the gear shift subaru outback automatic transmission?

If you are referring to the shift lock release it is inside the console. Different years of Outbacks have slightly different locations for the access plug.

On a 2005 I just looked up there is a plug right above the "P" indicator. You pry the plug out with a screwdriver, insert the screwdriver in the hole and press down. Move the selector lever from "P" to "N", depress brake pedal and start the engine. Instructions including illustrations are in the owner's manual for your year.

How do you replace the tail light bulb in a 2003 Subaru Outback Wagon?

This is for the outboard lamp in the rear quarter panel. The bulb is an 1157 dual filament, 12v, staggered bayonet base.

Before starting, stop at a hardware store and pick up the bulb(s) and two or three 6mm nuts. If different thread pitches are offered, get a couple of each.

Tools needed are; flat blade screw driver, a quarter drive ratchet, extension and 8mm short and deep sockets. A magnet on a stick may be helpful to retrieve a nut dropped into the quarter panel, but you were smart enough to get spare nuts.

Use the screw driver to remove the access cover in the interior behind the lamp assembly. Remove the small access cover just under the cargo cover hook-on bracket. There are two studs holding the lamp assembly retained by those little 6mm nuts. Use an 8 mm deep socket to remove the two nuts. Here's your first chance to lose a nut. With the nuts removed, you can now pull the tail light assembly out. There are two lamp sockets that can be twisted a quarter turn or so to access the bulbs.

Replace the bulb(s) and test the lights before reinstalling the assembly. Starting the nuts from the inside is easier with a standard depth 8 mm socket than the deep socket. To reduce the chance of dropping a nut. put a dab of grease in the socket to hold the nut. Otherwise here's your next opportunity to lose a nut. After engaging a few threads on the stud, change to the deep socket to secure the nuts. Don't over tighten the nuts. You're nut bolting the main fuel tank on the Space Shuttle.

Pop the interior access covers back into place.

Where are the lube grease fittings points for the 2004 Outback wagon since the service schedule requires it at 22500 miles?

There are no grease fittings on this vehicle. Most new vehicles especially those from Japan, now have sealed components that are prelubed upon the components assembly. This is done for the simple reason that the automotive market place is demanding a product that requires less servicing, resulting in a less expensive opperating cost to the consumer. These sealed components offer a good service life as long as the seals, ie. usually rubber boots, remain in good condition and are not damaged. Cheers!

How do you know if a water pump is bad i have an 02 subaru outback changed thermostat radiator cap and flushed the cooling system however the temp climbs on hills and when car is under a load then tem?

Usually the water pump failure is by leaking. Although it is possible that a failure of the impeller is causing your problem, my experience is that it is more likely a partially clogged radiator. Try opening the windows, turn the heater all the way to hot, fan on high, when the engine is overheating. If the temperature comes back down, the radiator is probably the culprit. Had a similar problem with my 2000 Forester after a failed head gasket had leaked oil into my cooling system. That gunk just doesn't flush out. --Ken

How do you change a water pump on 1996 Subaru Outback 2.5l?

Water pump should be changed with the timing belt since they require almost all of the same steps and lifespan is similar. That is 10 years or 100,000 miles whichever comes first, and again at the same interval for as long as the car keeps running. This is not a job for a casual do-it-yourselfer.
