electrical problems
hello to all and thanks for reading this thread. this is only my second posted thread since joining the network, and my knowledge of troubleshooting problems or noises etc... is limited.
i have had a problem with what i think is my ignition switch for quite some time now. i turn the key over maybe half the time and i get nothing. no starter cranking or anything. i just keep working the key and after a short time it starts up. i've never been stranded because of it. now yesterday my stereo while driving just shuts off and comes back on repeatedly. the warning lights also flashed on and off a few times before staying on the whole way home. i started the car up this morning and turned on my lights and they just shut off while idling the car. i have a fairly new battery(6mos) and a new starter(3mos). is this possibly the alternator going out. do i have two different problems. i have about 87,000 miles on this car. i thought of having the subaru tech check for any codes and go from there. anybody know what is happening and a course of action i can take. i have other issues i will go into later. thanks for taking the time.
