Thank you everybody who has offered help. It has been a learning curve, i.e., what should have been obvious in 5 seconds has gradually sunk in after almost a week. I did not understand how the brake switch worked. I thought it was strictly 'internal'. I have learned about the 'plunger'. I hope to design a fix using gorilla tape and a penny. In short, I replaced the brake switch and it didn't help. Then I realized that the plunger needs to make contact with brake pedal. Pretty bright. That took 4 days for me to figure out. I am now trying to find a real brake pedal stopper: https://parts.raffertysubaru.com/p/Subaru_1996_Legacy/STOPPER-PEDAL-B/49247386/36036AC001.html . I am going to try the gorilla tape and penny fix that I found online assuming I cannot adjust the brake switch to make it work as is. I don't recall finding any pieces on my floor and so I'm not entirely sure that this model uses a brake pedal stopper! Anyway, thanks again and I'll forward any additional details after the attempted 'fix'.

Are the backlights for the instrument cluster on? The Park Switch will turn on the parking lights, but not the instrument cluster lights. You said Tail Lights----. If it is just the rear, is the third brake light on? This would be the brake light switch stuck on which would also tell the cruise control that you are braking so it would not work.

Beautiful. I like your style.

Remove the mechanical fan with a 22mm or 7/8" wrench to hold the shaft still, and unbolt the nuts with a 10mm. You can leave the electric fans on the radiator. Remove the lower hose form the water pump, and leave the upper hose with theengine. You can get it out form there.
