your brake light will come on when you are low on fluid as well as when your ebrake is on.

did one of your accessory belts break?

 

not sure at all. i was just sitting by the entrance of the mall then all of a sudden both came on. and i didnt have my e break on.

 

sorry noob question where are the belts for power steering and alternator?

 

in your massiv eniginez, look for any pulleys that don't have rubber on them, to do that remove black hump thing in the front of the engine

 

Wow I thought this thread was a joke.

oddly enough i saw a thread on this same topic earlier today. i will try and find it.

in the mean time take a look here:

well i cant find it (annoys me) anyway. from what i have read it sounds like it is a battery charging issue. check all the electrical connections on the battery and alternator and the stuff by the fuse box. might want to have the alternator tested or the battery.

could also be power steering related:

a guy at one forum I go to, found out it was a grounding issue on his, very similar problems like yours

 

ok thanks guys ill check it out and get back ASAP! ha and its no joke bros!

 

found out what was wrong...its the belt on the pulley was ripped off...so what im going to do is just replace all the belts since they all looked kind of warned out. what recommendations on belts should i get?

G'z someone's got a magic 8 ball at home. Awsome. So whats the winning lottery numbers for this Saturaday! LOL

 

you mean what did I win?

 

check all the pulleys first too.... make sure all the pulleys spin freely and it didnt sbap a belt due to a siezed pulley....

 

02blubru and bikerboy you are the WINNERS!!! thanks alot guys.

 

I like the Dayco Poly Cog. Advance has them, but the NAPA belts (gold line) are good too.

Also can't go wrong with OEM Subaru ones!

 

Thanks guys...i checked my pulleys when you say spin freely do you mean when i spin it it just spins easily? cause when i spin mine it just kind of spins.
