POSSIBILITIES ARE; VOLTAGE REGULATOR OR BARE OR DISCONNECTED GROUND WIRE TO THE STARTER. WATER AND SNOW WILL CAUSE THESE BARE SPOTS TO SHORT THE CURRENT TO GROUND OR ELSWHERE. I WOULD SUGGEST GETTING A WIRING SCHEMATIC FROM THE LOCAL LIBRARY OR PURCHASE A CHILTONS BOOK. WIRING PROBLEMS CAN BE SIMPLE OR UNTRACEABLE AT TIMES. I KNOW SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE NEVER SOLVED A TAIL LIGHT SHORTING OUT. THE MANUAL AND SCHEMATIC WILL HELP YOU NARROW DOWN THE PROBLEM. GOOD LUCK!
How's your battery, is the car starting properly. Maybe the battery or alternator.
Take the negative battery terminal off for 15 minutes.
Wrong page.
Have you tested the battery to see if it has power in it? If it has have you made sure the contacts are good? If they are is there a fuse that has blown.
A Low battery could cause this - try getting a jump from someone,when it is cold the battery will, if they are low sometimes, not have the cranking power needed to turn over a cold engine. To test if your battery is low turn on your lights if the lights are dim then it is your battery.
check the fuse for the tail lights, usually they are inter-connected.
I dont have an answer but I am having the same problem. My car wouldn't start but when I turned the key, the lights (hazard and dash lights) started blinking. I think it's a warning that the battery is not completely connected. We tightened the clamps (which were very loose) and it stopped.
my friend changed the battery in his 05 outback and now all the dash lights are on and the car wont go into gear. what happened?
Either the brake light switch or on brake pedal there is a button that pushes the switch and it fell out.
It is the solenoid located by the shifter handle change it !!
Dead battery?
if you leave any lights on in the car you may cause you a flat battery. if you leave any lights on in the car you may cause you a flat battery.
