found this button on a car I test drove, a 91 Legacy, the button is clearly aftermarket, and has a light that flashes constantly when the car is on. Changing the switch to its various states appeared to make no difference that I observed.

For the love of all that’ s holy leave it “shock off”

Probably something to do with an aftermarket alarm - enabled, enabled without shock sensor, disabled entirely

How clever was the PO?

Manual/Auto?

50/50 lockup switch is pretty common mod on the 4EAT.. Switch with resistors tells the computer it’s in 1 or 2 and the diff stays 50/50 f/r.

of all the cool shit in there, why did the guy go for the first gen probe?

no, I am hunting daily drivers. or maybe just window shopping, it’s unclear.

oh!
it is on an automatic ‘91 Legacy, but it is the turbo model, so someone attempting to achieve power delivery options might have been a thing.

heh sounds like my current first car search, i’d be legitimately looking and then it all turns to window shopping depending on what my parents say when i show them something

I completed that mod to my old 2001 Outback. Paired with the limited slip differential at the rear that that generation of Outback got you could completely change the characteristics of the car with the flip of a switch. With the transmission in D and the center diff doing what it wanted to giving it a boot would spin the front wheels up and give you a bunch of understeer. Lock the diff to 50/50 and boot it and you would get instant skids on any surface with enough slip for the 2.5 to break the wheels free. It made for an impressively lively and entertaining car in the snow.

I do miss that old battlewagon. It was a very good first car, even if it did try to suffocate me with gas fumes every winter.

I had a Dowell sticker on my hard hat and one company man asked if my dad worked for Dowell or something.
