Replying to: xwesx (Jan 27, 2005 9:18 am) The only chiming any of my cars make is in my '96 when I have the key in the ignition and I open the driver's door.   That's to remind you that the key is still in the ignition, not an issue with Subaru's electrical system. 8~)   Jim Replies to this message: xwesx (Jan 28, 2005 10:21 am)
#4647 of 18388 More on seatbelts ... by rob_m Jan 28, 2005 (6:35 am)
I hated seatbelts, and rarely wore them.   My 92 Loyale wagon had the automatic shoulder belt, you know - when you turn on the car, the belt zips across the door frame.   I got to tolerate it. Barely.   Wouldn't you know one rainy Saturday morning, I was running errands in town, and some boob in a CRX pulled out in front of me. I dumped the clutch, hit the brakes and slid into him, hitting him broadside, with enough force to spin him 180 degrees onto the sidewalk.   I was sore and severely bruised. The seatbelt kept me from hitting the windshield or steering wheel.   I am now a convert.
#4648 of 18388 No more rants - just trying to stop the chime! by jam05 Jan 28, 2005 (6:35 am)
Hi all - ok, I don't have a statement of principal to make anymore, but I'm still trying to shut those #$%! chimes off. I tried the "click/unclick" thing 20 times within the first 30 seconds after the initial chiming stops - but it didn't work. The car was running at the time, is this correct? I searched the Forums for more exact instructions but haven't found them - so if anyone can clarify the process we would be very thankful and appreciative! Happy Friday to all!

pfft, OK I won't discuss it any further since this is a problems & solutions topic but I'm not going to help you.   ~c

Replying to: jfl (Jan 27, 2005 9:55 pm) Yeah, I know. I wasn't saying that was a problem, just pointing out that it does not chime to remind about the seatbelt.
#4651 of 18388 Seatbelt Chime Disable: Subaru Legacy Post #1506 by kens by xwesx Jan 28, 2005 (10:44 am)
To disable seatbelt chime:    1) Turn key to ACC position (note seatbelt light and chime will starting going off) 2) Insert buckle, wait until seatbelt light goes out 3) Remove buckle, wait for light to come back on 4) Repeat steps 2-3 for a total of twenty repetions. 5) Remove key, start engine    There will still be an initial set of chimes but it should go quiet after that.    Ken Replies to this message: xwesx (Jan 28, 2005 10:46 am) kens (Jan 29, 2005 1:57 pm)

Replying to: xwesx (Jan 28, 2005 10:44 am) Now, how exactly you start the engine after you remove the key, I am not sure. But these seem like pretty good (detailed) instructions. ;-D Replies to this message: kens (Jan 29, 2005 1:57 pm)
#4653 of 18388 Check engine light by philliesfan2 Jan 28, 2005 (3:12 pm)
Hi Subaru owners,   My wife had trouble starting her 95 Impreza LX Wagon (with 125K on it) yesterday morning. She called AAA and the mechanic came out and was able to get it started without jumping the battery.   She took it into a repair shop near where she works and left it. They checked both the alternator and the starter and found no problems. They reported it appeared to be the battery and replaced it.   After she picked it up and was driving home late last night, the "Check Engine" light came on. I'm assuming that changing batteries disrupted something electrical and that this is a sign of something simple. (hopefully)   She called them today and they were avoidant, insisting that changing the battery was not apt to cause that, yadda, yadda, yadda.   I'm hoping some posters here might have some ideas as to what may be causing the light to come on what to do next.   Thanks in advance for your response.   David Replies to this message: fibber2 (Jan 28, 2005 7:19 pm)

Replying to: jam05 (Jan 28, 2005 6:35 am) There are better instructions on another forum relating to Legacy GT. I'd love to be helpful and post a URL but that is not allowed at Edmunds.   You definitely don't want the engine running. Turning the key to ON (not ACC) is one of the steps.   Craig

Replying to: philliesfan2 (Jan 28, 2005 3:12 pm) David,   Did anything change in the driveability or performance of the car? Did it start ok on Saturday morning?   Step number one is to read and interpret the code. Some of the parts places, like AutoZone, will read it out for free or a nominal charge. If it looks like something trivial, record the data but let them clear it. If it doesn't return, and the car drives fine, then you are probably done. If it returns, then you have to determine if this is related to the fact that it would not start yesterday morning, or if something in the testing at the shop triggered a new problem.   Steve
