power light?
Should the power light come on when the ignition is turned on? I just bought a beautiful "97 and I tried to call up the transmission codes unsuccessfully. I've never seen the power light come on at all! Please help while my car is still under warranty. Thanks

owner's manual
Did you get an owner's manual with the car? This has a lot of info about the car you may find useful, like if the power light is supposed to come on when you start the car. If you didn't get one, do a search, and you will be able to find the phone number for S.O.A. (Subaru of America). Call them and they will send you one free. I'd tell you about the light, but I don't remember. I don't drive my car very often any more. You also might be able to do a search on "Power light".

For redundancy's sake I'll be the first to say the the Power light Does come on when the engine is started. (along with just about every other light on the dash, "oooo... mommy? can i play with the christmas tree lights?") It is my opinion that the Green Power light is a very good complimentary color to the "faded green" illumination and orange needles.

I'm not positive -- This would be a question for Larry III, who has a '97 -- but, I think the power light was disabled on the 96/97 MY's. Not the function, mind you, but the light. Seems like I've heard that before. Ask Larry to be sure.

Don't worry about it till it blinks. Mine is blinking 16 times and I am slightly worried. I am smelling trans fluid burning as well.

trans fluid?
Are you sure it's trans. fluid? The SVX has a habit of leaking oil from the front seals, draining down under the engine onto the exhaust. Minor leakage makes great(?) smell! Good luck,
Mike |
