Welcome to the board Kathy.

Warning about stuff that has been in the "water". I helped a friend empty his flooded house on Milford Beach in Ct. (5' of water) Took a wooden box that I thought I could use on my porch. Left said same box in my Outback overnight. Car stank for days. I wouldn't go dumpster diving for that flooring! PS Friend found a lobster in his closet. PPS FEMA has been very helpful.

Looks like Long Beach got hammered. Hope you and your house fared better than blu.

http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/104-gen-4-2010-present/42945-headlight-bulb-replacement-2010-outback.html The above link has a pdf showing the removal of the fender liner to change the low beam bulb! Yikes! That's like your dentist working on your teeth through your ear! One very good suggestion is to have the dealer do it if it is still under 36k mile/3 year warranty.

On my 2005 Outback automatic I occasionally need to wiggle the gear shifter in the Park position to start the car. Is there an adjustment for this or a replacement item?

Have to apologize since when I looked closer at those two links, there is a bunch of junk as well. A member "Gloyale" offered in an earlier post that he had a pdf of the 1995 wiring he got from pdftown.com Suggest a friendly request via the board or email. or download the zip file here: https://rapidshare.com/#!download|934p11|368636446|pdftown.com_SubaruLegacy1995.zip|69347|0|0 Hope this helps.

If you are referring to the bulb, check the owners manual that hopefully came with the car. My 05 and 08 OBs have such descriptions.

Looks like Autozone carries these bolts. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/Brake-Caliper-Bolt-Guide-Pin/_/N-8knjf Don't know where you are located but if you take off the other side, you should be able to match it up at parts supply stores.

http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/66-problems-maintenance/42574-2006-obw-airbag-lig ht-my-fix.html I had the same intermittent problem and was diagnosed by a Subaru tech as a courtesy. I just replaced the overhead map light console in my 08 OB. I wonder how many of these have failed and if SOA would provide the number. The problem being that if that light is ON, the airbag system is OFF. So this does become a safety issue and not just a blinky light problem. Anyway, replacement was fairly simple. Instructions with pictures linked above. Pry off light lens, 4 Phillips screws, 2 electrical connections. Replace with new unit and the problem has not returned since. As linked above, I have read that others experimented with re soldering the components on the small circuit board but I didn't try it myself. I paid about $100 for the console and of course SOA "never heard of a problem" with these units, even though I snagged one at my local dealership that was already on order for another customer. I saved the old one if anyone wants to tinker around OR if SOA decides to step up and acknowledge what is a real safety issue. Might be worth a shot to discuss this with the dealer or call SOA directly but they didn't budge for me. SOA could easily make a claim against the board manufacturer for faulty work and look like a champ but now they look like chumps. BTW I notice you are from Harrisonburg. My GPS always pronounces it Harry Sonburg. If you see Harry, give him my regards.

The above link shows an entire car wrap with the 3M material. At 2:48 they are applying it to the rear vent area.

whoaa and whoaa +2 watch it being applied

Thanks Rooster but since your woody wasn't paint (?) my question was for the original poster. It seems like the areas affected were prominent and would have taken the brunt of an aggressive automatic brush.

Was the car routinely run thru an automatic car wash?

Vallvoline NexGen 50% recycled oil has the starburst symbol on the front and is rated SN. They boast a 150,000 mile engine guarantee on the label (which is barely off the lot for a Subaru). I have been buying this stuff at Advanced Auto when they have full rebate offers and have enough oil now to open my own Spiffy Lube. If the engine ever fails, I will simply affix their label guarantee to the hood and keep on driving. Worse comes to worse, it's a lifetime of salad dressing.

I use: MaxiScan MS300 OBD2/OBDII Car Auto Diagnostic Code Reader Scanner Tool CAN$22 shipped on ebay. Pretty basic but it: Reads and erases codes. Tells you if systems are "ready" if you are trying to sneak by emissions testing.

Did you see the response on the other site to your query? "I have this same problem but fixed it last night. Our horn and blower motor at first were intermittent and then stopped working completely. I found somewhere it said the horn relay was behind the left kick panel. When I removed the panel I found two heavy wires underneath the fuze panel by the drivers left foot, one of them looked repaired at some time with a bad splice. The heavier wire is black and red. That wire had two areas that were bare. I put a test light across the splice and it was hot all the time. Then I checked it as it went into a gray connector where it was also bare and it was dead. I made a jumper and went across the two bare spots, the splice in that wire and the blower motor started to work and the horn worked now too. I wished I would have taken a picture of this where it was repaired or maybe that's the way it came from the factory I'm not real sure. I removed the splice and soldered a longer wire onto the original spade terminal within the gray connector and now everything works as it is supposed to." Now to start tracing your own wires...

Did you watch the video at the bottom of the article titled "Does it do THAT:?" YIKES!

Under the heading of good ole', the Subaru 360 Sambar has been around since at least 1960. This might be the handicap accessible version. I have a feeling the spoiler and discs are aftermarket. 2 stroke engine probably only did 55 mph going downhill. A couple of years ago I saw a few of these rusting away in a yard in Ct.

Stop by Autozone and have them clear the code for you. The car will run a little wonky while the computer relearns. It will take a few driving cycles for all of the systems to become ready but hopefully that will be the end of your 0420 light show.

http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Help-18-mm-gasket-seat-spark-plug-non-foulers/_/N-25px?itemIdentifier=730544_0_0_ 18mm is the size. Above is the link to Autozone part. Comes 2 in a pack for about $5. NOTE: As I and others have discovered, this doesn't work on MY 2005+

Well, I am inclined to agree with you about these "spurious" codes. I clear the cel every now and again if it hasn't gone off in the meantime to make sure no other code has come up other than 0420. I can clear the code and have all systems ready to pass emissions. For the rest of the time I have 2 small pieces of black masking tape that cover the cel and the blinking cruise light. I hope the tape doesn't violate the no tampering laws.

Next question is whether their is any correlation or higher incidence to areas with winter fuel additives that trash the cat, i.e. % of sales of replacements by geographic region. and this: http://reviews.ebay.com/Reasons-for-catalytic-converter-failure?ugid=10000000002803746 Could the externally leaking oil (weeping) head gaskets on my 05 also be leaking internally enough to trash the cat?
