I have the airbag light on our 2007 Outback XT. I noticed the console light was dim so I pulled it down and resoldered it. That brought all the console lights back. I just touched all the resistor joints and the LED solder joints, and didn't have to add any new solder.
However the dash light didn't go off so I had the codes scanned and it showed 11, 26 and 71.
I'm pretty sure the 26 code will go away if I can clear it, but I think the airbag roll connector in the column is bad, so the light is still on.
Does anybody know a DIY way to clear the codes? The shop that scanned it won't reset the codes unless they do the repairs. I'm going to call the dealership on Monday, but hoping there is an easier way someone knows. So far it seems the 2005+ Legacy is no DIY friendly.
My other option is to just replace the roll connector and hope the light goes out.
