Do the parking lights, i.e., the tail lights (all four!), the license plate lights, and the front clearance lights (together the “clearance and tail lights”) light when the key is at Off, or out of the ignition switch, and the parking light switch on top of the steering column is turned on?
Where is the trailer adapter on a Subaru Outback wagon?
The latter would short the clearance and tail light circuit (including all four tail lights, the license plate lights, and the clearance lights at the front of the car).

Why are the dash lights not working on my Subaru?
Furthermore, as was noted, the dash lights do work when the headlight switch is turned on. The dash lights are supplied by the relay. In the diagram, only some lights are shown, powered from FB-26, fuse 12. So if the dash lights work, the relay is working. That leaves the Parking Switch, or wiring specific to it, as a probably cause.
