Question type: Maintenance & Repair

2002 Subaru Outback with 170,000 miles died completely one night in March, we replaced the altenator and it ran ok for a couple of weeks then brake and battery light came on, replaced altenator again and lights never went out. The car left me on the side o the road again. Any ideas what else could be wrong.

I would have your entire electrical system checked out, voltage regulator, electronic ignition, ground wires, etc.... something is shorting out your system... just my two cents.... good luck.

My 2017 Subaru Outback's battery dies if I open the car with my fob, and then do not lock it again. For instance, the car is in my garage, and I hit the "open" button on the fob, get something out of the car, and IF I DO NOT LOCK IT AGAIN, the battery dies overnight. No lights are on, although I do see the led light in the car handle. Any advice? 3 Answers
