PplMy 1999 Legacy L 30th ann. has a weird problem that when the car is off, the antenna will extend and retract at seemingly random intervals. I have installed a Mcintosh stereo receiver, amp, and rear sub from a donor Subaru, and all the connectors match perfectly from the harness to stereo, stereo to amp, and amp to speakers. There was a weird problem that the speakers would play static while the car was off, draining the battery, but installing a relay on the pin 5 wire in the DIN cable fixed that. I have replaced the entire antenna assembly and it still happens. Online, there are suggestions to add a switch to the antenna rectractor to manually control it but I would prefer to have everything work as originally intended without extra hardware.

"The Red Beam" a name earned through it's demonstration of power, and striking appearance, especially when in motion. A 1999 Subaru Legacy L 30th Anniversary Edition at heart, with performance, longevity, and comfort based modifications. A 2.2L naturally aspirated engine with an automatic 4 speed transmission. I bought this car from a chop shop in Portland, Oregon, and basically the engine and the wheels worked. A short list of repairs since purchase/rescue: Driver window motor and glass replacement Head gasket done Coil pack replaced New plugs/wires Reman alternator New battery Starter Kill switch Mcintosh stereo receiver and amp/sub from a donor Subaru Leather door panels Exhaust pipe welded New muffler New radiator New starter Led light bars Radiator mounted wind turbine(in testing) Sound deadening from rear seat through trunk Hood and scoop Ac delete Windshield washer delete New tires All new fluids Custom LED tail light with Subaru light up pattern New headlights/bulbs Cooling system pressure release valve This car has the WEIRDEST problems, one after the other, and it has been a joy navigating everything and I want to start sharing some of the experiences.
