Hi all.

 

Does anyone here know what the alarm coming from the dash on a 2004 Subaru Outback is all about? It doesn't happen all the time, and beeps multiple long beeps, with no apparent reason, and for no good purpose near as I can tell. I am a bit deaf though, and could be missing something!!

 

Thanks.

Seatbelt alarm? Is the seatbelt indicator lit on the dash?

Hi. No, it's not that. 

Ok, so upon hearing this intermittent alarm again today, I looked up, and guess what I saw?? A little red man sitting in a seat with a belt on..........so yes GD, you were right.

 

The reason it confused me so much, is that the thing which was setting it off was.......the dog.

 

She must be right at the cut-off point for the pressure sensor in the seat, and, as the drive so far had been mostly short test drives, she was not always in with me. Today, she was.

 

So, every time we went over a bump, the alarm would sound, and not a smooth beep so I could twist my head and zero in on the source of the sound, but a short, then long, intermittent one..... but just smooth sailing down the road, and nothing..............

 

Bloody electronics.........
