Dear all

This is really weird, I came back from a 14 days vacation and tried to
start my car but nothing happened. It worked perfectly before the
vacation. I have a Lagacy 2000 automatic gear. The problem is that
there is no power at all. I have tried to jump it but nothing happens,
it is as there is no connection between the battery and the car - it is
just dead.

Anybody experienced something like that? I'll be glad to receive as
many comments as possible.

Regards Blum

Yeah it's really dead, no light even in the cabin and it doesn't even
give a click when I'm turning the key. Would a crashed battery cause
such symptoms? I mean not being able to jump start? I have checked the
connections and to my opinion they seems ok (I'm not an expert).

Is there anyway that you could have left a light or something on?

I had this same problem with my 2000 Legacy after I left one of the map
lights on for a about a week. It drained the battery so low that it
wouldn't take a jump. My boyfriend changed the battery for me and it
was fine.

When you say dead, do you mean no lights or gauges? If really dead,
then I would be checking the connections and cables from the battery
to ground and starter and including the chassey grounds.

Is this the original battery in the car? Sounds like it's time to
replace it. Cheap.

I would imagine that your battery discharged, by itself or a dome light
or something left on while you were away.

When the batteries go this dead, connecting the jumper cables will only
work after your battery is allowed to charge for some time.

Good luck
