I am getting a warning light come up and stay iluminated on the instrument cluster. It is an orange rectangle with 3 arrows pointing up. Can anyone tell my what is likely to be wrong and the fix for it?
Thanks novice

Rear demist is on.

Now with added pictures!
Is this really for the rear demist? Had me worried for a bit!

That is a Catalytic Converter logo. Please have them checked (downpipe and centre pipe) if there are still stock items. From the dash layout, that's an early model WRX. You've packed a lot of mileage on the car? maybe the cats have packed up ?

My 98 wagon runs catless and I have never seen the LED on that icon ever light up .

Looks like the demist to me!

A solid rectangle with three curvy arrows pointed up is the demister (this is in workshop manual, if not in the owner's manual). Howeve, on my Japanese spec 98, I see another similarly looking logo except it resembles a centre cat (much like the outline of a burger) with the same curvy arrows.

That's not the cat warning. The Cat one is indeed like a burger with burst ends

Also, serious warning lights are always in RED not orange.
I had a weird orange warning light that kept coming on with my GTO and it was getting me worried. Turned out I was out of washer fluid???? There's a good use for a bleedin' bulb!!!!

I would say demister but as my car is off with the nice people (apart from the guy doing the work) at Subaru, I can't check in my manual.

Yes had a look today and it is the rear demist. Not that it matters much now though as I have just found out that I've lost my job and will have to sell my car to get by untill I can find another one.


Why is it just when you think life is going great something has to happen to spoil it Anyway thanks for your help.
