We have classified the 1 complaints from 2002 Subaru Outback about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM into the following categories.
Fuse for tail lights blew due to tail light socket partially melting (area where the two contacts for brake/tail light are located-location was the driver's side inside brake/tail light). was unaware that the tail lights were not working for about 1 week. *tr
The front headlights are not working. i replaced the headlight but that did not fix the problem. there is no warning light to show the lights are out. this creates a dangerous driving situation that both front lights are out but it seems to be due to electrical or another problem. i have noticed many outbacks with one light out for the same model years. it seems to be a systemic problem unrelated to the bulbs. *jb
Key stuck in the ignition switch compartment. also, had a problem with the shift gear position indicator. dealer urged consumer to put a towel at the wheel to hide the keys holder. *ak
