I was driving our 98 Subaru Outback when I first drove I noticed the rpm and speedometer needles were going crazy. We entered the high way and the car started to run very rough, At this point the radio died, the RPM and speedometer stopped working, as well as the air conditioner. Before we could pull over the car was not long getting gas and the motor cut off. Once we were pulled over the car was very sluggish to start at first, would run for a few minutes before everything would start to give out and not work. After about three attempts to start the car it would no longer turn over. Just the starter clicking, The dealership ( FORD) we broke down in front of told me it was an electrical issue and would be very expensive. I called a Subaru dealership and they said alternator, I can do the alternator myself. I just need some thoughts.
