ChemicalWaste Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 My Legacy has been basically dead for about 3 or 4 weeks now. I'm looking for suggestions. The first time it just died randomly. I drove home from Lowe's(t IQ) and went to leave again 2 hours later and got nothing. When I jumped it and ran it for a 20 minute run down the road it didn't hold a charge. I jumped it again a week later for a longer trip and it still didn't charge. That time I got an ABS light and noticed the car stalling while driving down the road, only to kick back on, much like a push start, but at 60 mph. I bought a new alternator and put that on. Still no charge. I bought a new battery back in January so I'm assuming it's not the battery, but I suppose the battery and alternator are still on the table as possible problems. I cleaned all of the grounds and leads I could find. I jumped it again yesterday and let it run for a few before making a quick beer run down the road. This time, no more ABS light. Is there anything I'm not checking before I run to the parts store and have the alternator and battery tested? Thanks in advance, CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmP6889928 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Have the battery checked with a Midtronics electronic tester to see if it has a shorted cell. Also make sure your engine to frame grounds are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
