#108 of 117 Re: Daytime Running Light & HID kit issues for 05 Legacy? [lg05legacy] by xwesx Oct 20, 2009 (2:46 pm)
Replying to: lg05legacy (Oct 20, 2009 1:46 pm) Not sure if they changed it at some point, but I think all the newer Subaru vehicles I've owned ('07, '08, '10) use the high-beams as the DRLs, with a reduced current so they are very dim. Are you sure that the low beam is being used as the DRL on your '05? Replies to this message: lg05legacy (Oct 20, 2009 3:21 pm) xwesx (Oct 21, 2009 9:01 am) lg05legacy (Oct 21, 2009 2:11 pm)

Replying to: xwesx (Oct 20, 2009 2:46 pm) I'm not 100% sure the DRL's are the same bulb as the lows, however my lows have a projector lens and that's what's lit when the DRL's are on...Highs are the standard mirror config. (for lack of a better term) Replies to this message: xwesx (Oct 21, 2009 9:01 am) lg05legacy (Oct 21, 2009 2:11 pm)
#110 of 117 Unable to start legacy due to faulty security by jmac20 Oct 20, 2009 (5:44 pm)
I have just spent $1100 to repair my security system after my 2005 Subaru Legacy GT, for no apparent reason, failed to start. According to Centaur Subaru, the battery was fine, but security system decided to immobilize the engine. (I live in the country, and absolutely no one attempted to steal the car). This appears to be a design/electrical fault -- not a general wear issue. I would like to know how common this is. I find it rather ironic that the security feature intended to protect the owner, actually prevented the owner from driving their car. This car was just in for its 96,000km servicing and the engine light/cruise control was repaired – apparently this was a common issue. Any links?

Replying to: jmac20 (Oct 20, 2009 5:44 pm) Do you know if this a common issue for all 05 legacy's, or just the GT models?

Replying to: jmac20 (Oct 20, 2009 5:44 pm) immobilizer issues plague owners of many different types of cars. It's not an uncommon grievance. I think I see 1 or 2 complaints like this every day in our Answers Department.

Replying to: lg05legacy (Oct 20, 2009 3:21 pm) Okay, then yes, it does use the low beam and I am not sure of the answer to your question. If I were in your situation, I would likely look to disable the DRL feature as, perhaps, the easiest solution.   They must have changed the configuration to the high beam at some point.

Replying to: xwesx (Oct 21, 2009 9:01 am) xwesx - Thanks for the info. & feedback...I was thinking I would need to disable that after reading some other posts... some people were talking about removing a fuse or two to achieve it.
#115 of 117 radio emits static full volume, electrical system problem? by maggieoutback Oct 23, 2009 (3:36 pm)
While driving along, the radio on my 2009 Outback wagon will suddenly pump out full-volume static. (It is ear-splitting.) The only way to get it to stop is to shut off the engine and restart. Today it happened while the radio wasn't even on to begin with. I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem. I am going to bring into the dealer, but am worried that since it is not something that can be reproduced on demand, that they won't find it. And meanwhile, it is so loud, it is really a safety issue. thanks! Replies to this message: chriswanson (Oct 26, 2009 11:45 am) maggieoutback (Oct 26, 2009 5:15 pm)

Replying to: maggieoutback (Oct 23, 2009 3:36 pm) different than your problem, but:   my legacy wagon's radio sometimes spontaneously changes volume. however, i believe its a problem with the radio buttons themselves (sony), as they dont work properly.   or, could possibly be radio signals affecting the wireless remote control that came with the system??

Replying to: chriswanson (Oct 26, 2009 11:45 am) The radio (HK) in my wagon did not come with a remote, so I think we have different problems. But I would suspect that other things on the same radio frequency could affect your radio.   maggie
