I went to the car again and it does sounds like when you hook up a code reader.
 
I also noticed that the daylight driving lights also dimmed when it clicked/clacked.
 
Very puzzling... ??

UPDATE
 
I worked on my car on Sat. The sound was coming from the power window circuit breaker which is located under the dash, next to the steering column.
 
It is a little white rectangular tab like box with two wires going to it. The source of the sound was the circuit breaker tripping due to some electrical overload. The breaker was doing its job.
 
Every now and then, the circuit breaker will not click/clack and electrical power was normal and the windows became operational.
 
I took the car back to the dealer in Northern VA on Monday so they could complete a warranty repair/replacement on the stereo. I left them a detailed note of my findings. According to them, once the radio was re-installed, the problem went away. Very interesting.
 
So far, so good but I wonder, why re-connecting the radio solved the problem?

2000 Outback Wagon - rear driving lights do not turn on by ohzee00

My Outback rear driving lights fail to turn on. The front turn on fine, turn signals, brakes, flashers, headlights all work, but the rear driving lights do not turn on.
 
I am wondering if there is some module in the rear somewhere which regulates those lights ? I for the life of me can not figure out what it is, fuses all check out fine.
 
Any help or pointers would be VERY much appreciated.

Are your front marker lights (The Yellow Ones) on?

Can anyone tell me the exact location of the ECU in a 96 Legacy L. My ABS light came on and I have read that I may be able to get a code from the blinking LED sequense on the ECU. Any help on this would be appreciated.

hi; go to "www.legacy central.org" click on "the library" under the heading "tech doc" click on "ecu error code instruction and glossary" i dont think you have to remove the ecu yet , but if you want to know, they are mostly located under the carpet of the front passenger side, it is like if the passenger is sitting with the feet out streched on the slanted section going to the fire wall the would be over the ecu, you have to remove the mat and lift up the carpeting.
