Jbakrr86 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I have a 97 legacy that has no electrical power. No lights windows or any other circuits work. Battery tested good. My ground cables have a resistance of .5 amps and im getting power to my starter as well as my fuse box. I checked the fusable link and it seems fine. What main source of power can i check post fuse box? Any hidden fusable links or major relays, fuses i can check? Im tracing wires now but i was hoping someone can give me some guidance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 There is a main power relay up under the dash. Check the ground at the engine block. Strange not to have any power. Don't have an aftermarket Security system do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbakrr86 Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 No i dont. I wondered about security. Would that year have a stock one? I checked the ground at engine block and frame. Both show connections on my volt meter. I checked resistance and it showed a .5 amp draw. Which is pretty normal. Ill check the power relay. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtdash Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 HI, '97 had a keyless entry system that had an optional security system - dealer installed, IIRC. Should be a small red LED light on the dash and a 'security horn'(?) under the hood - w/a hood sensor. But I've never (yet) read of that causing your symptoms.

Jbakrr86 Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 Well i fixed it. Turns out a previous owner did install an aftermarket security system. I found the box hidden behind some wires under the dash and removed it. Starts and runs fine now. Thanks for the suggestion Imdew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 You are welcome. When I pick up a car with an aftermarket it Goes in the trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
