Hey guys-

My 1996 850 T-5 wagon died while driving yesterday. I was able to pull it to the slide of the road. I couldn't start the car and the ABS, SRS, check engine, and yellow arrow lights were all on. After about 10 min, I was able to start the car (the ABS, SRS, etc. lights stayed on) and drive it home. It drove horrible, no power and it felt like it wanted to kill the whole way. I charged the battery with a battery charger and the car started great and no lights, but after a couple of minutes the idiot lights came back and the car handled/drove horribly.

Other symptoms that have been occurring over the past couple of weeks: A) the FM radio works intermittently, b) sometimes the key is hard to remove from the ignition (I have to jiggle the shift), c) the ABS light has been staying on longer than normal (~5-10 sec) when I start the car after it has been sitting (it does eventually turn off), and finally, d) the car revs very high on start.

Other than all of that it drives and handles great!

Thank you for the help

Molly
