95 Legacy Wagon Lockout Solenoid/No start. Help pretty please!

Shift linkage might be out of adjustment or worn.

The solenoid in there is used to prevent the lever from being moved unless the brake is applied; thus it should not have anything to do with the starter not turning.

On the passenger side of the transmission, you will find a swithc that looks somewhat like a 3 inch or so halfmoon with wires sticking out of it. That switch tells the at control module what gear the lever is set to and doubles as inhibitor switch fot the starter motor. You would have to crawl under the vehicle.

The switch could be defective or out of position, though the same applies for the cable that the shift lever moves.

If you want addtional info on how to calibrate the switch or cable, message me at snipped-for-privacy@juno.com. Make sure you make reference to Subaru or i may disregard your message as spam.

To Bob, your No.3 was unnecessary. It tells more about you than anyth> >

Thanks for the replies - well, most of them. Turns out the switch on the passenger side of the AT casing was intermittent, but also my coolant temp sensor and its cable that runs to the ECM were bad. Replaced all three and runs like new. Thanks, HC
