Just wanted to thank you for your post. My Subaru Liberty wagon 2005 lost power dramatically, becoming an embarrassment up hill... this out of the blue (or as we thought), just after having installed the tow bar. Thinking it was the fuel filter, we changed that and there was no improvement. A few hours drive later, both the tail lights were gone. After reading your post, we concluded there was a connection between the tow bar and tail lights and loss of power. We changed the bulbs and disconnected the tow bar cables, and the car power was back to normal.
