I just bought a 1990 Legacy LS wagon - I'm happy to find this group
and hope you can help with a couple of questions.
1. The needles for the water temperature gauge and fuel gauge are
both broken off. The metal shaft that attaches to the indicator
(pointer) is broken on both. I removed the gauge cluster and I can
see that the two gauges can be removed independently but Subaru does
not sell them separately - I must buy the complete gauge package. Is
there a fix for this problem?
2. All of my doors except for the drivers door automatically lock
after they have been opened from the inside - I have power locks. I
don't think it's the electrical lock, it seems to be more of a
mechanical problem. I understand that there was a recall for a
problem like this and the car has had the recall procedure done. Has
anyone had the same problem? Is there a common fix for this?
Thanks in advance,
Marc

Sounds similar to a problem I had with my doors, the solenoid
reverses itself, it has happened to me a couple of times, the first
time I pulled the door off and unpluged the solenoid for a while and
reconnected and it a came right, the second time it just came right.

I doesn't seem to be electrical since the doors work fine repeatedly
from the outside handles. I'll try it though - thanks for the
suggestion.

marc,
The problem if it is like the common prob the earlier legacies have, there is a spring that keeps pressure on the drivers lock, which is held by a plastic clip, this plastic clip breaks, and when you open the door handle it locks the door. You can put a metal piece back there to catch the spring and fixes it. I'm not sure if that is the problem you have or if it's different, if you go to my site and under links section. "Hobie gary" has a site that explains how to fix the problem I described above. My site addy is www.personal.psu.edu/jcc189/subaru/subaru.html

I have only had problems with the rear doors on my early legacy and
what I did was got a nail, cut it to size and put it in where the
plastic broke, I haven't had the problem since. The only pain was
trying to keep the spring in place.
