HVAC blower resistors have been failing for years, in my 2003 Jeep Liberty, in our Dodge Ram pickups too. So it is something that just fails. BTW, the resistor "works" the hardest when the blower motor is used on low speed. Most resistors when they fail allow the blower motor to run at top speed-high only.

I may be wrong but, the ABS system pulls quite a few amps when functoning. So based on that knowledge, plus the batt light to me equals the battery is failing. The 14.1 volt reading at the alt means it is working OK, the batt is prolly not accepting a charge anymore. The reason the lights go out on stopping is I THINK the ABS is not pulling amps while in "Park". Maybe a "load test" on the batt would be best, and go from there. Most auto parts stores will do it for you FYI.

My wife always pays for the mid-graded in her Subees since 2000, and she says the cars run better. Who knows? I have a 2010 Fozzie, that "seems" to run a dite better with mid-grade than 85. I really haven't had the car long enough to evaluate the gas, and all my observations are strictly seat-of-the-pants, not entirely scientific.

2003 Impreza Outback Sport Bulb... When my wife left for work last night, I noticed the right front marker light out. This is the one that appears to be orange/amber and sits in side a plastic cone-shape in side the bugeye lens cover. This model has what I believe is commonly called "BugEye" lights, in a 2003 Impreza Outback Sport, 4-doors, and a hatch door in the back. My question is if anyone can point me to a post on a how-to-change out this particular bulb? TIA for any help, I hate to go to the dealer for a GD bulb change. This is a pic I grabbed off the web to use as an example of the light. It's not her car, hers' is green over silver. The pic shows the particular style headlight housing, the bulb in the orange/amber area is the one that is out. 2010 Forester, 2003 Impreza OB

Fogging the cylinders is a common term for prepping them for long term storage by coating them with a "fogging oil" usually introduced through the intake at some point, while the engine is running. The fogging prevents corrosion. It is standard practice for outboard motors, snow blower engines, lawn mower engines and motorcycles as well, any engine used seasonally and then stored for a long time. Used in conjunction with a gas treatment such as Sta-Bil etc.
