???electrical dash problems???
 
I was just driving home and when I was getting off the free way all of my dash lights lit up (like when you first fire up the car but then they turn off). I haven't noticed any real performance drops, although I only drove a few more blocks. I turned the car on and off a couple times but it's still there. The car did have a check engine light on for both TPS sensor and knock sensors prior to this happening. Any advice/wisdom on this would be much appreciated...

Thats related to the alternator I believe. If you have the "Christmas" lights going on (all the lights on).

Its the alternator, that is having the problem. Just get it checked.

In Subaru's wisdom they wired all those lights together to come on if the alt has a problem.
Its Just to scare the crap out of you so you take it in and get it fixed.:D

And if it IS indeed the alternator, you will find that these are the best replacements out there.

In my experience that means, REPLACE ALTERNATOR NOW, but be sure it's not a loose belt or failing crank pulley.
