My 95 Legacy L, with 160K miles, wouldn't start today......brand new
battery, purchased a couple of weeks ago, and the car has worked fine since
I bought the battery. Now, when I turn the key, everything lights up, but,
all I get is a "clicking" noise.....the car doesn't even try to turn-over.
Any ideas??
Best, John |

The clicking sound is the solenoid (wherever its located). Check battery
clamps, wires, connections to the solenoid? Of course the fact that the
battery is new doesn't mean its good...already had a top of the line battery
fail on me this winter after only a couple of months use (replaced under
warranty).

Make sure the gear shift is fully in the Park position. Mine can be
pulled slightly out of position the result of which is turning the
ignition key and nothing happens.
Could be your starter is seized.
What's the voltage across the battery? What does it drop to when you
turn the ignition switch to Start? >> Stay informed about: 1995 Legacy (Starting Issues) |

A subie starter has contacts in the solenoid that wear and can be replaced.
that could br the problem. Generally speaking, this is all that fails on the
subie starter.

Hi,
You sure your charging circuit is OK? Is alternator good? >> Stay informed about: 1995 Legacy (Starting Issues) |
