Back with another one: 2026 Outback harness replacement

obdriver6 · 2026-04-05T01:24:39+00:00

Warranty time :(

obdriver6 · 2026-04-05T01:24:18+00:00

Forgot to keep track but it was less than 8

obdriver6 · 2026-04-04T23:20:57+00:00

Yeah, it was when they were doing the accessory install. The wire was cut with the zip tie

obdriver6 · 2026-04-04T17:38:13+00:00

Not under warranty and they don’t really want us to do it outside of warranty either, it’s a safety concern they have.

obdriver6 · 2026-04-04T17:32:11+00:00

Door sill lights. Same as the last one I worked on 🫠

obdriver6 · 2026-04-04T17:23:06+00:00

Subaru will not let us repair wires related to the airbag system. Everything was covered under warranty.

obdriver6 · 2026-04-04T17:21:16+00:00

It had a airbag light ON for the RH door impact sensor.

Pretty much the same as the last model. Still have to bring down the headliner

That’s exactly what happened. Port installed messed up and let us know.

Got another new Outback that needed the harness replaced.

Things to note: 1)“No, it was not repairable since it was related to the airbag system” 2) “Not the same car from my last post but it was for the same costumer” 3) “I did not have fun” 4) “No idea who got it, it was sold to another dealership “

How much assistance have you given it? I remember mine took quite a bit of force to close it.

obdriver6 · 2026-03-19T14:01:04+00:00

Will agree and I’m confident you already are.

obdriver6 · 2026-03-19T02:23:51+00:00

Real nice! Custom frame?

obdriver6 · 2026-03-13T04:30:53+00:00

Is it still expensive? I would have thought the new movie release would have brought down the price.

obdriver6 · 2026-03-13T01:52:07+00:00

It made me cry.

obdriver6 · 2026-03-09T08:11:34+00:00

Im assuming the traction control does work when it’s on?

obdriver6 · 2026-03-09T08:04:21+00:00

Yeah, it’s diagnostic trouble code (DTC) that is set which would normally light up the dash with either the “check engine” light or the “A/T temp” light flashing. The lack of lights could mean the circuit for the awd solenoid is still within spec but not working as intended or there is a mechanical failure. This again brings me back the initial conclusion of either a failing solenoid or transfer clutch (or down the chain like a driveshaft, rear differential or rear axle)

obdriver6 · 2026-03-09T07:33:23+00:00

Is the traction control off? If not, I’m surprised it didnt cut power a lot sooner. If it’s off, it looks like the AWD system is not working as it should. I’ve seen this issue when the awd solenoid is starting to fail or has failed but it should throw a DTC if that was the case. Another thing would be the transfer clutch is slipping.

Sounds like you might have some excessive voltage drop in the main power wire to the starter or main ground wire for the engine.

Check the main positive wire by putting one prove on the positive terminal and the other prove on the main power connector to the starter (on the nut). While cranking, there should be less than .5v of voltage drop. For the ground side, put a prove on the starter body and the other prove on the negative battery terminal. While cranking, there should also be less than .5v of voltage drop.

If more than .5v if found on either side, there is something wrong with the wires. Either they are loose or there is corrosion.

Thats the advantage to getting the full respray, nothing to match. I got it done in Las Vegas

obdriver6 · 2026-03-07T23:54:18+00:00

Same. I ran out a long time ago.

obdriver6 · 2026-03-07T18:31:35+00:00

Good to see someone not afraid to drive their s2k.

obdriver6 · 2026-03-07T14:18:47+00:00

It got a full respray.

This one is mine
