My starter died completely after a slow demise of intermittent functionality. Got new starter and replaced it. When I turn the key it clicks and all power goes out, dash lights and all; until I disconnect and reconnect the battery. Then the same thing happens again and again- starter clicks, power completely dies- disconnect- reconnect- repeat. Has anyone encountered this? I've read through many forums and believe that adding a relay may be the solution to my issue, has anyone had a similar problem and it suggestions? My multimeter graciously stopped working so I can't check any leads until I make it to the store. All connections seem to be clean and rust/corrosion free.

I did a quick fix with a 16 gauge wire that is 1.3 mm and has a load capacity of 15 amps. Car runs fine until the oem piece comes in the mail. Only concern at the moment is how hot the wire gets. So for now I drove the car to a friends house where its safe, and didnt have any problems, but dont want to drive it until the correct piece is back in.

Hello everyone, I recently bought a 97 impreza outback with 210k on the body and a freshly rebuilt engine from a 94 legacy. The key has been stuck in the ignition for the past week which wasnt an issue until I left the lights on and drained the battery enough so it wouldnt start. After finding someone with jumper cables and hooking the car up, he put his leads on backwards and my fusible link fried out. I cant really find any information on a fusible link online but my main question is what the amperage of the fusible link for a 97 impreza outback sport? Just want to go to the auto parts store knowing what I need. Parts Ive found online arent what is in the car.
