1. Faulty Switch: Check the sidelight switch and make sure it is not stuck in the "ON" position.
- Try toggling the switch multiple times and ensure it can move freely.
2. Electrical Issues:
- Check the vehicle's electrical system, particularly the wiring related to the sidelights. Look for loose connections, damaged wires, or corrosion. Repair or replace any damaged components as necessary.
- Check the sidelight socket for any issues like melted terminals or faulty connections. Make sure the sidelight bulb is properly seated in the socket.
3. Relay Problem:
- The sidelights might be controlled by a relay. Locate the sidelight relay in the fuse box and check if it is functioning properly. Replace the relay if it's faulty.
4. Fault in Wiring or Control Unit:
- If these initial troubleshooting steps don't resolve the issue, there might be an underlying fault in the electrical wiring or the control unit that manages the sidelights.
- It's best to consult a qualified automotive technician or the Subaru dealership for further diagnosis and repair. They have the expertise and tools to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem and provide an appropriate solution.
