  1. Also just about every warning light under the sun went on, starting with low battery, ABS, and a very fast blinking "AT oil temp" light. Where would I find that alternator?
  2. Hey, I have to jump start the car to get it running. Once running the voltage is between 8-10 with no accessories on. Can I remove the alternator to get it tested or does it have to be attached to the car?
  3. I was reading the voltage right after I turned the car off, and it was with a multi-meter at the terminals.
  4. I have a 99 Legacy GT, I was driving down the highway, and after about an hour of driving my speedometer and odometer plumeted straight down with no lag time. I later realized everytime I used my blinkers it would pop up and down with the blinkers. It did the same thing with the heater/ac, headlights, radio, and windshield wipers. The battery would not go past 10 Volts. I just recently had my alternator checked out (it was great) and all battery cables are tight and secure. Could it possibly be a relay, or is this a symptom of something much worse? How can I check a relay? (All fuses are good). Thanks in advance for the help, Chris
  5. Don't do this, I tried this and blew all kind's of codes. Not to mention 2 MAF sensors, a coil pack, and some new wiring was required. When I took the state of the art "chip" apart I found it nothing more than a box with a wire and a resistor.
  6. Hello, I have a 99 Legacy GT, and last night I opened the sunroof, and found it has no problem going backwards, however it will not go forward to close. The motor runs, but nothing happens. Any ideas, and if I have to remove the cassesett how would i go about doing that. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Chris
  7. Thanks for the insight I will give it a shot. What i mean when I say there is electricity in my grounds, is when I go to touch the ground {that is a known ground} I get a nice little shock. This is only when the amp is plugged in though. When I disconnect the amp nothing happens.
  8. You can try, and cut out the metal, and extend it to the specs you need. I would just go with the 6.5's, and maybe get a small sub, and some tweeters.
  9. I have a 99GT, and I am having both of those problems. I know it doesnt sound glamourous, but I pulled my dash out, took off the contact screws where the spedo screws into the contact mat, and added a bit of contact cleaner. Also check for anything that is loose, wires etc.. Mine had something barely hanging on, I taped that up, and put it back. Worked pretty well for me. As far as the transmission, well if you dont have a 5 spd, you may consider saving up for when it drops.
  10. I am moving two amps in my car, I could swear I have everything hooked up correctly, and exactly the same way as I had it before I moved it, however when I turn the audio on, the speakers/subs hum. Furthurmore when I turn the engine on the speakers/subs wobble with the engine. I have grounded it in the exact same spot with the same wire, and my RCA/speaker wires are away from any power wires. One more thing that may help, I grounded it to three different spots to see if that was the problem when it did not solve it i put it back onto the original ground, and when I went to bolt the other grounds back up, I got a nice little shock?? Does anyone have any ideas on this. One more note, I took the RCA cables out of the deck, and when I cover the black RCA cable with my hand, the hum goes away. I noticed when the amp is plugged in, all the grounds in my car have electricity running through them. Thanks in advance for any help.
  11. All right, battery back up, but the same problem. Any other ideas would be great
  12. Ok, my battery cannot keep up with what I am doing, I need to take a break for a bit to let it recharge, the audio eqpt. will automatically turn off when there is not enough power. I think this is the reason for the no sound from the subs.
  13. In addition I hooked up the sub amp, and unhooked the four channel, it has power, but will not put anything to the subs??? all RCa's are fine, and the ant. is in.???
