Hi, I recently replaced the heater core in my 2001 Forester L. Everything basically went to plan, but I'm having some issues. 1. There are several trouble codes: P0500 Vehicle speed sensor malfunction P1540 Vehicle speed sensor malfunction 2 P1591 Neutral position switch circuit low input P1518 Starter switch circuit low input P0512 Starter switch circuit high input P0316 Misfire Occurred in the First 1000 Engine Revolutions 2. The gauge cluster is acting strange. Normally the lights behave but once I turn on the headlights only some of the gauges are lit and the backlights for the LCD displays turn off. I've inspected the wiring a bunch of times. I went to a salvage yard and tore into the dashes of 3 foresters to make some detailed comparisons. Took a ton of pictures. Long story short, I'm pretty sure the wiring in my Forester was properly connected. I checked the fuses and they are fine. There are two connectors I can't seem to find mates for. There's a single black wire that attaches to something somewhere around the cigarette lighter I can't find a mate for. In the same location there's a connector with 3 prongs in the same area I can't find a connection to. I have the cig lighter and whatnot properly wired up, though. I'm pretty stumped and any advice is appreciated. The service manual I've been reading is clear as mud as far where components are in the car that I can test. Any guidance with any of this is massively appreciated. The car otherwise runs and drives seemingly fine. TIA

Hi, my name is John and I am new to USMB. I have a 1986 GL that runs great and still looks great. Recently, 3 warning lights stay on after I start the car: the charge light, the stop lamp light, and the brake fluid light. My Subaru dealer checked some things that might cause those lights to stay on and couldn't find a problem. The tool needed to scan for the diagnostic codes is no longer available. Would anyone have a suggestion for solving this mystery? I suppose I could just keep driving the car until whatever the problem is becomes apparent. My Subaru is trying to tell me something. It would sure be nice find out what it is. Thanks in advance for any response.
