Help! And thanks in advance to anyone who knows what's going on with my ride. 98 Legacy 2.5 wagon. Went to town. Parked for about 10 min, all was normal. Inserted key, no dash lights or icons, turned to "start" and nada. Thinking my battery connection were suspect (they were actually pretty clean) I banged them with a screw driver handle. Retried start, no go. Repeated process car suddenly started as if nothing had been wrong. On 2 mile drive home ABS light began blinking, Check Engine flickered bright dim bright dim, not blinking on off. Parked in drive way. Shut it off and restarted. No check engine light, all seemed normal. Shut it off and tried to restart, dead as my dog. 4way flashers and door locks have power, dash has none. Something in front of my left knee clicks every 2 seconds, no matter if key is on or off, in or out. Did finally manage to restart. don't know what I did, don't think I did anything. Maybe unrelated, just prior to this incident, I thought I heard a faint high pitched whine and know I got some strange bass tones out ot the stock radio, about every 2 sec while on a FM talk station, I made a mental note to look into it. This morning battery voltage was about 2 instead of 12.5, leaked down overnight. Recharged and started fine 2 times then failed to light up on 3rd attempt. Dash is dead again. Clicking from in front of left knee again. With every known thing turned off I have full battery voltage with meter between negative cable and batt post. I'm thinking main power relay, I can almost see where it is supposed to be above inside fuse panel, with kick panel removed, but I'm physically too large a person to do anything about it, without a hoist. Thoughts anyone?
