  1. Found it on Subaruparts.com for under $100. Only problem there is if that's not the issue, it's not as easy to return as it would be from the dealer. http://www.subaruparts.com/cart/?pn=84621ag41a
  2. I think I'm going to take the console down again and take a test light to the connector going to the LED lights to make sure they're getting power.
  3. A quick update for today. Last night I was driving home and noticed that the light on the overhead was out completely (and my dash light was on of course). Normally the "pass airbag" is lit but no "on" or "off". Just for fun I hit the overhead console and the "pass airbag" light blinked. I waited a few minutes and hit it again and it stayed on. Nothing else came on though. I got home and decided to pull the overhead down and check for loose connections. I unplugged a few things and wiggled a few things and had no luck getting anything to change. I put it all back together and called it a night. This morning I left the house and again everything was out. I hit the overhead again and both the "pass airbag" and "off" lights blinked. I hit it several times and they only flashed as I hit them. Then, a few minutes later, they both came on by themselves and stayed on for the rest of the trip. This is really strange and confusing.....
  4. Update - I had the code pulled and it says it's a fault with the passenger airbag harness, so eventually I want to check that out, but I haven't had an opportunity to do it yet. Maybe it's just an intermittent loose connection or something corroded.
  5. Update on this. I got my console on ebay and took mine down to check it out and possibly swap. I noted that what is actually on the overhead console concerning the airbag is just a small LED pc board with 4 LED lights. I'm pretty sure that's not the problem because I don't think an LED circuit is going to throw my airbad light on the dash. I would have tried to just swap out the console and see, but the one that arrived didn't quite match the one in the picture on the auction. This one has several blemishes that I would consider unaccepable. I'm working with the seller now to settle this. I found a section in the forum about diagnosing the airbag light code, so I'm going to try that out soon. Hopefully i'll find the problem and it won't cost me an arm and a leg.
  6. Well, I occasionally have something in the seat, but nothing large or heavy. I haven't ever noticed the seat buzzer going off. I definitely have noticed that it's much more avid at reminding you when you don't have a seatbelt buckled than any of my previous cars. That's probably the very next thing I'll look at if the console doesn't fix it.
  7. Well after I wrote this thread, I looked around a bit more and found a used overhead console complete with sunroof controls like mine for $13 shipped on ebay, so I bought it. Hopefully that fixes it, but even if it doesn't, I feel a lot better about wasting $13 than $50 plus tax. I'll post again when I get it and find out if it fixes the problem. Until then, any ideas are still welcome!
  8. Hi guys and gals, I recently got my first non-american car, an 07 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited. So far, I really like it. I do have one small problem with it though. It currently has 42k miles on it and there has been an intermittent problem since I got it. I noticed this a couple times a few weeks after I got it. The red airbag light would come on on the dash and stay on until after that trip. Then, the next time I would get in, it would be off. I've also noticed that the overhead console indicator for the passenger light is not always either "on" or "off". Sometimes it doesn't indicate one or the other, but just shows the words "passenger airbag". Then, I had an aftermarket car starter installed in my car last week. It works great, but I noticed that the airbag light comes on more often now. I also noted that if I start it and immediately press the brake and put it into gear that the light is more likely to be on. If I start it and wait, it may not come on. It doesn't always do it... Odd.... So I called my local Subaru dealer and, of course, I'm out of warranty for that, but he immediately thought that my overhead console was bad based on what I said about the indicator light up there. He gave me the p/n 84601AG03A0R and said it was about $50. I haven't been able to find ANY info on this p/n online, so I thought I would post up on here and get some input. Has anyone else seen anything weird like this? I did a search and saw that people have seen the airbag light come on for several different reasons, but I don't want to drop $50 if it's not going to fix it. Please offer up your thoughts on this as I'd like to get it fixed. My understanding is that if the red airbag light is on, my airbag system is turned off, which isn't good. Thanks for any help!
