[Please help, no crank/no start!!!!!!!!!!!!]

I jumped the starter solenoid and the motor cranks, so problem is in the shifter/ trans I hope.

 

Thanks

Prasad

[Please help, no crank/no start!!!!!!!!!!!!]

Thanks guys,

Ever since the shifter became harder to move (even prior to the long storage period) I had to play with the shifter/neutral safety switch to get it started.

No, the solenoid does not engage, no clicking sound. I will jump the starter and see if it turns and take the shifter cable off and se if the Trans can be shifted by hand.

The car was a 4wd but now only the fwd works, I don’t know if that affects any thing.

 

Thanks again

Prasad

[Please help, no crank/no start!!!!!!!!!!!!]

I have a 95 Legacy wagon, I parked it my barn for about 8 months, and I drove it in there. Now I go to start, it doesn't want to start. The starter is not engaging. I took apart the shifter to check the neutral safety switch and I by passed it but no luck. The shifter seems very tight. I can only move it down only to drive nothing lower. Also nothing is really moving by the Trans when I move the shifter inside.

Do I need a new shifter cable? Why wouldn't it start if I have the neutral safety switch by passed? Is there any thing in the tranny that is preventing it from starting?

TIA

[Please help, no 4WD only FWD??????]

If I indeed need a tranny, what years can I get it out of? I have lead on a 92.

 

Thanks again guys

Prasad

[Please help, no 4WD only FWD??????]

Hard to say for sure, but you should be

fine as long as no parts are broken off and floating around in

the tranny.

 

952.2's post on the internal shaft being broken comes to mind.

 

I'd stick the FWD fuse in to minimize what

is driven in the rear clutch pack area.

 

What amp fuse should I put in?

 

Thanks

Prasad

[Please help, no 4WD only FWD??????]

Have you tried driving the car for more then a hour per say and seeing if the AWD want's to kick in at all ?

 

When I bought the car I drove 60 miles home but how can I tell if the 4wd is working. The only reason I found out it wasn't working was when we had 6" snow on the ground the my buddy told me it was only spinning the front wheels when I tried to pull out of the parking spot.

 

Prasad

[Please help, no 4WD only FWD??????]

I checked and there is no fuse inserted, the car runs fine with no tourque bind . I was realy hoping for the 4wd.

 

Thanks

Prasad

[Please help, no 4WD only FWD??????]

Thanks again guys, I have one more question. Say it is in the trans and I need to replace/ fix it. If I don't want to spend the money, how long can I drive on 2wd with out any issues other than what it is, a 2wd Subaru.Would there be any other issues?

 

Thanks

Prasad

[Please help, no 4WD only FWD??????]

Thanks guys, I will check the fuse. The car does have 4wd, there is a drive shaft going to the rear axels.

 

Prasad

[No Tail / side marker lights help!!!!!]

As always you guys were right on the money. I double checked the fuses. This time I checked with a multimeter. The fuse for the parking lights looked perfectly fine but when I checked for continuity, it showed it was open. It had a hair line break in it. Repalced the fuse and we are all good.

 

Thanks again guys

 

Prasad

[Please help, no 4WD only FWD??????]

Please help, I only have FWD, no power to the rear wheels. I don't know much about the history of this car other than; it's a 1995 Legacy, 214,000 miles, Automatic. I bought the car for next to nothing so I can't complain. I have to have 4wd due where I live and that was the sole reason I got back into another Subaru.

 

I tried doing a search but there were only few posts and one or two about a fuse under the hood for 4wd but I think it was for earlier models but I am not sure. Where should I start?

 

Thanks guys I really appreciate all the help here

 

Prasad

[No Tail / side marker lights help!!!!!]

DO the parking lights come on with the virgin switch? If it doesnt check the fuses. If it does its the relay.

No, the parking lights do not come on with the virgin switch. I will go through every single fuse.

Thanks

Prasad

[No Tail / side marker lights help!!!!!]

This happened to me, the virgin switch was in the middle. Move the parking light switch back and forth first and see if that fixes it.

 

 

nipper

 

I did try that as well, no luck. I will check all the other fuses.

 

Thanks guys

Prasad

[No Tail / side marker lights help!!!!!]

I have signal and brake lights however no tail lights or front side marker lights. I checked the fuse labled "tail" in the kick panel on the drivers side. It looks good. Am I missing something? Am I looking at the right fuse? This is a 1995 Legacy.

[What year body parts are interchangeable?]

Does it matter if it is regular Legacy or an Outback?

 

Thanks

Prasad

[What year body parts are interchangeable?]

I have a 1995 Legacy wagon that’s wacked in the front. It needs R and L fenders, both headlight assembly and the hood. Can I use a hood from an Outback? What year body parts are interchangeable?

Thanks

Prasad

[What is the difference between a regular Subaru Legacy wagon and OutBack wagon?]

Great info here, thanks guys.

 

Prasad

[What is the difference between a regular Subaru Legacy wagon and OutBack wagon?]

The outback is lifted 3". given a two tone paint job, and several features that are optional on the Legacy are standard on the Outback. Oh, and the Legacy comes with a 2.2L engine, and the Outback came with the 2.5L that had the headgasket problems.

 

Can you get the Legacy to lift 3"? what is involved in doing that? How about the tire size?

 

Thanks

Prasad

[Im Back!!]

You can run but you cannot hide, Subaru is the in the blood or not. Trust me lots of Subarus later, I always come back.

 

Man, you can say that again, I had a 90 and 92 Legacy and sold them two years ago or so and guess what, I just bought a 1995 Legacy wagon. These are great cars.

 

Prasad

[What is the difference between a regular Subaru Legacy wagon and OutBack wagon?]

I just picked up a 1995 Subaru Legacy wagon. I realy like the way the Outback looks. Can I convert my regular Legacy to the Outback look? is it just bigger tires and struts? what does it take? is it worth it? I need struts anyway.

[Please help! 91 Legacy trans problem!]

Yes,the car ran fine before it was parked, it was little low on fluid due to taking out the radiator. I will change the fuild and see what happens. The car has 188K miles on it and I abuse the hell out of it. I used it to pull and push cars in my barn. I know I was asking for trouble.

 

Thanks again

Prasad

[Please help! 91 Legacy trans problem!]

My 1991 Legacy has been sitting around for about year or so with a broken timing belt. Last week we installed a new timing belt and the motor runs fine.

Now I have a new problem with the trans, it feels like as soon as the car rolls to 2 to 3 miles an hour, it shift to 2nd gear then it stays there. I will be doing 60 mph at 3500 rpm. I drove about 100 miles this way. It's still the same. Also as I slow down from 60 mph the rpm goes up and down like a stick shift when you let go the clutch in gear. It loads the motor severnal times while the car slows down. Is there a fuse? a solenoid? Vacuum line? I don't know where to start. Please help.

[Please help running on two cylinders on idle, sorry long!]

Thanks for the input, I will check those items.

 

Prasad

[Please help running on two cylinders on idle, sorry long!]

I also swaped out the computer as well, no luck. Does the coolant sensor have anything to do with the idle?

 

Thanks again for the input.
