14.3 volts or so is what the Alt should be putting out. Check all the battery and battery cable connections. The negative cable goes back to the engine block, just in front of the starter. You didn't say what year or model it was. Most auto parts stores will test your alt for free. If you do need one, I have several for 96-99. Go Subaru, new or used is better than aftermarket. Larry -

Sometimes you get lucky. Nice. -
Yes you should be concerned. Subaru's come up to temp and the temp gauge is always at the same spot if everything is working properly. Make sure you check the radiator coolant level in the tank, not just the overflow when it's cold. It should be full. The newer 2.5 have external coolant and or oil leaks at the HG. Check them. It is possible that the load was just to much. Has it been back to normal since? Latty

A few years ago I put a 95 2.2 into a 98 Legacy Outback and it went to a friend in Seattle. I helped him this weekend try to figure out the no fans on AC and P0441. I put the car in D-Check and the main fan cycled. The sub fan did not. We plugged the sub fan into the main fan connector to make sure the fan was good and it did cycle on and off. I know the 4 relays in the engine fuse box control the fans and AC. The sub fan relay main/silver contacts have no voltage at the connector. I could jump the AC Relay front one and the main fan would come on. Jumping the sub fan did not power it up. The AC compressor does work, just no fans. The Compressor clutch cycles on and off as it should when we have the AC on. I checked the Evap connector at the rear of the car for voltage, I had 0 volts. I'm not sure it was a good reading as the ECU provides the ground, so both leads in the connector would show 0 volts if the ground was open. I did try pin to a bolt but I'm not positive it was a good ground. The schematic show power to the connector when the key is on and the ECU controls the ground. They were just chilton manuals so it may be in error. Any help would be appreciated. Any good USMB Members in the Seattle area with a shop? Thanks Larry

With the car off, try moving the wipers through the normal arc, If they move they are disconnected from the motor. The nylon bushing fail. The one at the motor most often. Three 10mm bolts hold the motor in. You can remove it and then turn the wipers on to watch the motor arm run. Get good used arm/s from the yard,

Have a 2008 Tribeca 3.6L Limited, with Airbag light on all the time. Dealer says code 21 for faulty ECU (is what they called it) and wants around $ 875 to replace. Was wondering 1) If anybody had experience with this issue and resolutions. 2) Where ECU might be located because I cannot find it in Subaru Parts diagrams. (does not list ECU period) 3) Can I get code or not with OBD scanner tool to verify. Any ideas, suggestions, tips etc....greatly appreciated Thanks in advance !!!
