beebs Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 So, i've been having to disconnect my battery every time im not driving the car because for some reason the the red lights in the back of my car wont turn off. Well, earlier i connected my battery and tried to start my car but my car wouldnt start. It had like a very week engine sound, and it consistently happened. I let it rest for about 20 minutes and it started out of know where. I dont want to drive it at all unless i find a solution, cus that sucked.

Lsnaple Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 There's a switch on top of your steering column. Flip it, your lights will go off and you won't have to disconnect the battery any more. The switch is there solely to keep the lights on with the car in "off" or the key out since Subaru wants to help save batteries when people inevitably leave their lights on. For a situation such as leaving the car on the side of the road or something and you want the parking lights on and want to take your keys with you. As for the battery, sometimes the connection on the terminals isn't great. Try to wiggle it around and tighten it down better once you have it in a spot where it will start better. I know it's weird, but I've had that issue with mine after disconnecting. Funny, I just had this conversation with a buddy because he changed his motorcycle battery and the connection bolted into the post into the awkward wrap around. We thought that would be a much better design for car batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look up the history of the user, every thread has been something so outrageously stupid. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

I Donated broknindarkagain Posted October 24, 2012 I Donated Share Posted October 24, 2012 would you like me to take a picture so that you can shutup? A picture of your car with something that shows todays date? Then maybe I'll believe you. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
