So, i picked up my 400 dollar legacy tonight. she started right up even after sitting since 2009, drove her home. 1 mechanical problem; CV axles. here's the other problems:

 

Rear turn signals didnt work, found out lights were blown

A/C heater fan doesnt come on

radio shot

none of the the gauges work, not even the odometer

power windows dont work

 

checking fuses tomorrow. too dark to do anything.

It sounds like a fuse in the main panel under the hood is blown. Start your hunt there and verify power is passing through all the fuses there. If further testing is needed then move to the dash panel next and check those fuses.

problems solved! i cant wait to drive this suby ^.^ everything works. 208000 miles and everything works, even the A/C! Power windows, power door locks, all works. only problem im having right now:

 

tried to replace front CV axles; drivers side CV came out perfectly, passenger side CV; the splines have a death grip on the hub. have to replace the whole assembly. going to the junk yard tomorrow.
