It could be that he didn't have the harness plug fully seated. That would allow it to work for a while then die after vibration caused the connector to separate. A loose belt generally allows it to still charge, just not up to full rated output. I would hope that if the Subaru mechanic checked it he would have at least noticed a loose belt.
