Gire Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I think I honestly finished reading the "read the damn manual!" rant by Brady and then this pops up? Both threads are on the same page no less!!! Too classic! To help, it sounds like you flicked on the parking light button on top of your steering wheel column. Try turning it off.

forestir Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Subaru should consider making a blinking LED on that switch to attract attention to it. Yes, this is funny given the recent rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laz Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I hate n00bs with that question! Although same thing happened to my brother in law when he drove tha car for a few days. He called me to ask my the parking lights were not turning off. "It's what make a Subaru a Subaru...the stupid switch on the steering wheel stalk!"

pillboy Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Remove all the bulbs and drive immediately to the dealer. You have a dangerous issue with your wiring harness and it needs to be replaced. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imstillatwork Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 that switch was the first thing the dealer showed us when the car was delivered - he was laughing about how everyone cleans the car and leaves the lights on.

Alex C Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I got lucky, I had happened across plenty of posts on this subject in some faqs on USMB, so when I got my modern legacy, I knew what to look for and not do. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobE Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 i cant believe people would own a car not knowing what every switch/button does. when i first got my car i was like, WTF is this switch on top of the steering column? i kept turning it on and off until i realized what it did (which didnt take long) . http://newenglandsubarus.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy02 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 i cant believe people would own a car not knowing what every switch/button does. when i first got my car i was like, WTF is this switch on top of the steering column? i kept turning it on and off until i realized what it did (which didnt take long) . in all fairness i didn't even notice that button was there until i had to figure out why my lights wouldn't turn off. Figuring i did something with the fob, i read through the manual and figured it out. but due to the angle of the column or steering wheel position, you can't even see the freakin button! It's not about speed, it's about acceleration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmoe Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Suuuure... Leave it to a Redsox fan to not notice a switch that's right under your nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
