The shift lock is powered through the brake switch, which is located on the brake pedal under the dash near the firewall. In order to shift out of Park, the brake pedal must be depressed, closing the circuit to the shift solenoid AND the brake lights through the brake relay. I'd suggest replacing the brake switch.
That part has already been replaced twice. The brakes lights are still on right now, but the tail lights are out. I'm just bringing it up to see if anyone has had these 2 problems related in the past.
By any chance, does your Outback have a trailer hitch/receiver and trailer wiring harness? If so, is it factory-installed or aftermarket? If you do have one, check the trailer wiring harness for chafed or exposed wires. Also, check your Tail & Illumination
Whoops - fat fingers. ...Tail & Illumination Relay located behind a panel under and to the left of your steering wheel. There should be 4 or 5 relays stacked above one another there. The Tail Relay should be the third one counting from the top. Try switching that one with the second, and see if your brake lights go out and tail lights come on. Wish I had more to offer, but without being there, it's very difficult. Good luck.

SOURCE: 1997 subaru outback legacy overheating
I've had the same problem all year. I've had four different mechanics look at this car - 97 legacy with 2.5. I've had the coolant seals replaced, the radiator cap, the thermostat, the water pump - all to no avail. I've realized now that it only overheats shortly after running sustained high rpm's. Recently the last mechanic mentioned the bleeder valve (I didn't know it had one and think maybe he didn't know either - not a subaru mechanic). Recently it overheated again (again sustained high rpm's - apparently more prone to produce air in the system), I sat the vehicle on an incline (raising the bleeder valve to be the highest point) and let the car warm up and run for half an hour. Now 300 miles and no overheat. I went through alot with this car to get to this point. Unbelievable.

the easiest way will be to take it 2 a subaru dealer or an auto electriction and get them 2 remove the alarm..but you could dissconnect and un bolt the external alarm siren..
