  1. I'm only guessing 18 gauge. Take wire to HD or Lowes and compare size with wire stripper?
  2. I think S Ted was saying that even after he momentarily clears the cel, cruise is still gerfarked.
  3. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09ZXZ3KXK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details The above link seems to permanently solve the issue for $30. Changes the function to default to OFF. Read the reviews as it appears to not include installation instructions. History: So many complained that SOA did a software upgrade to allow the user to disable this function. Now there is an option on the infotainment screen to disable the function BUT it will default to the ON position each restart. Have you updated the software on your vehicle? This can be done OTA (over the air). I read that the auto stop/start function works when you stomp on the brake pedal. Does it kick in for a soft press? Happily, this function was never available on my 2019 Outback lower end model.
  4. local you pull yards around CT https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ANrceU4oXw4?feature=share
  5. for those searching, I found the following link and write up that may solve my issue. will report back after I f' up along the way. https://www.clubsub.org.nz/forum/index.php?/topic/53970-electric-seat-base-repair/
  6. While driving today, the driver side front seat gave way on the inner side front corner. As best as I can guess a spot weld(?) may have given way. The seat is automatic and when I try to adjust the seat portion to tilt, it doesn't engage that side. Can the actual cushion be peeled back enough to be able to first locate and then make a repair or do I need to remove the entire seat from the car? Disconnect battery and connectors for heated seat, airbag(?) and James Bond ejector?
  7. on my 05 OB the starter would get stuck on a dead spot. what I did was carry a length of 2x3" that I would thread down from the top and use to tap the starter. Worked every time.
  8. Did Evap eventually become ready? Hopefully all stays good and it's not just coincidence. It's like the outcome of a rain dance. Sometimes you get lucky and rain is in the clouds, other times you can dance all you want and come up dry.
  9. Are you saying the chime is on all of the time?? I will try and find my old post but I never had a problem stopping the chime on my 05 OB that warns if I hadn't buckled my seat belt. Found old post: Turn the key in the ignition to "on", the spot just before starting the engine. Buckle and unbuckle the seatbelt 20 times within 30 seconds. Immediately take the key out of the ignition. Enjoy your chime-less Subaru Edit: you only have to do this once and the chime is off for good. Unless your battery dies. Also, you can toggle the chime on/off by following the same instructions. This worked for me, If that fails, I found this procedure with one variation: try this procedure... I dug it out of NASIOC Step 1. Sit in the driver's seat and close the door. Step 2. Insert the key in the ignition and turn to the "on" position (but do not start the engine). Step 3. Fasten and unfasten the seat belt 20 times within 30 seconds. Then, within 10 seconds, open and close the driver's door. Step 4. The chime will sound when you start the car, but it will not repeatedly sound if the seat belt is not fastened. keep us posted.
  10. https://www.smogtips.com/smog-question/4333/Can-My-Car-Pass-a-Smog-Test-If-Monitors-Are-Not-Ready#:~:text=Gasoline Vehicles%3A&text=- 2000 and newer model year,cause a smog check failure. the above link isn't clearly dated but says 2000+ can pass smog with evap not ready!
