jeff.corona Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I recently replaced my 97 subaru legacy outback battery. When I connected the battery, the parking lights turned on. Second, when I put the key into the ignition, there's a beeping sound that starts immediately. When I try to start it up, it won't turn on. The only thing that works are the locks. The lights stay on regardless. I replaced the connectors. Has anyone dealt with this sort of problem? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rideredmx38 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Does it have a factory alarm? Try disconnecting the battery and turn your ignition on then with the ignition on reconnect your battery and give it a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rideredmx38 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Is your starter good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnegg Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 there are 2 easy fixes. one , as mentioned, 1/ connect the battery with the key in the ''run'' position. 2/ use the key fob remote to disarm the system. there is a third way, but usually not as easy for newbies.

jeff.corona Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 The car, doesn't come with a alarm, that I know of. What I'm confused about is that as soon as I connect the batter my parking lights come on. The beeping sound isn't the alarm but when I put the key into the ignition just a beep within the car like when you insert the keys and the doors open Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnegg Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 follow the instructions above. it will work. disconnect the battery turn the key to ''start'' and let go. connect the battery. turn the key off. you asked for help. we have given you the solution. now accept our help, and act. this will solve your problem. you are not the first. if you do a search for 'battery, "parking lights" blinking (or flashing)' you find many post asking and answering the same question. good luck.

jeff.corona Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Update: I've replaced the starter, and nothing yet. Took the advice and lights still stay on Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnegg Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 ok, then try the virgin switch on top of the steering column. if that does not help, try the battery again, and make sure the key is in the run position, not just the acc. position. whenever the battery is re-connected, the alarm / remote entry system assumes you are stealing the car, unless you have the key or the remote key fob. tell me again what the car is doing? are the parking lights blinking? is the head light switch on? what connectors did you replace? did you connect the battery up backwards? even for a second? any sparking? have you checked the slow blow fuses and fusible link in the fuse box under the hood?
