dennisvh Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I cannot get the rear wagon door light alarm to go out. The door alarm lights work correctly on the other 4 doors, but the back door open light will not go out when the door is 100% closed. Any suggestions on how to correct/ Thanks.

Rooster2 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 check out the plunger switch that gets pushed in when the tail gate is closed. The switch may be defective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Probably not your issue but I had this problem on my '00obw. It turned out it was because of the rubber cargo mat. For some reason on mine if that's even slightly back too far, the door closes like normal but the light stays on. It must press the door just enough to make the dash light go on though it feels completely closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legback0203 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 My outback and legacy both had a similar issue. On mine the handle to open the trunk was sticky. Make sure its returning properly or its basically still trying to open the trunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montana tom Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 my 01 obw had that problem. I had to cut the wire to the latch to make it go out, seemed to be a rust issue. I have since replaced the entire latch & handle assembly . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
