I have a 2001 Subaru Outback and when it's in Park with the key on and I step on the brake, it makes a fairly loud clicking noise between the radio and the glove box. Only happens when the key is on. When in Reverse or Drive... and I step on the brake it doesn't make this noise. Any ideas? Thanks in advance |
Maybe the Neutral Safety?

The noise is caused by the shifter lock solenoid, the one that prevents shifting into gear unless you are stepping on the brake pedal.

My 03 Outback doesn't have the solenoid click or the need to put the brake on before shifting..... again normal I suppose...probably a different gearbox?
