lmdew Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I picked up a 98 Legacy Outback. It was hit in the drivers front. I replaced the radiator, got it running but now it will not shut off. If I turn the key off, it keeps on running. I have to disconnect the negative battery cable to get it to shutoff. When I hook the battery back up it like the ignition is already on even though the key is not on. It does have the Subaru Security system. I take it a relay is stuck on. Where's the relay?

Olnick Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hmmm, most of us struggle just to get the car running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodsWagon Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I had a 99 forester like that, all the dash warning lights would stay on even when the key was out. What it turned out to be was the wiring harness going to the ABS pump. It had been hit in the right front and the harness was severed. The body shop had twist'n'taped the cut wires back together with duct tape, then wrapped the harness in electrical tape to hide the damage. Their splices had failed an it was backfeeding power to the dash. Took an evening of soldering and shrink tubing to get it right again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
