The culprit fuse was under the hood - 20 amp fuse called "backup". Discovered nice cache of spare fuses and fuse puller tool in the under the hood fuse box.

    I had the same exact problem in my 2008 Tribeca. I checked the "back up" 20A fuse near the engine and it was fine - put it back in and everything works again. Maybe the contacts just got dusty or something, but the 20A "Back Up" fuse near the engine is definitely the culprit here...

    Thanks!!

2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca. Why does the illumination lights on the climate control panel randomly go on for a while then go off and so on?

Have you by any chance added any LED bulbs to it anywhere? Climate Control and lighting is controlled by the BCM (body control module), and strange anomalies can happen if none OEM LED replacement bulbs are added to the system. The computer network doesn't understand the feedback caused by LED Control Modules.

My radio, car alarm, interior lights do not work on my 2006 subaru tribeca

The solution for the interior lights temp gauge etc. not working is the fuse under the hood as mentioned above.
As for the clock resetting, your battery is probably about to go. The tribeca turns off power to the vehicle if voltage drops below a certain level to save enough power to start back up. This causes the clock to lose memory.

I have a 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca with no audio, no climate control illumination, and the homelink is not working as well. I checked the fuses but they are ok.

I just encountered the same problem with my 2007 Tribeca. Any info you've found as to what the problem is/was? Thank you!!

Speedometer gauge/climate control lights dont work

Look for a dimmer wire,, sounds like your radio dont have the option for the car dimmer switch,,

the power for these lights run through the dimmer wire for the radio. ether its not hooked up or the radio dont have the option for it.

there is a way to bypass the radio dimmer option,, BUT you have to know what your doing or you could fry something.

look for Car Radio Illumination/dimmer Wire: should be Green.
