Hi all,

Back 2 months later with what I thought was a solved issue. I've had this 240 wagon since the end of January and posted back then about the car shutting down after running off of the battery. After hunting down a static drain from a fried radio, pulled that fuse and the car's been running fine since, sans music. Dash lights all on as normal with key in on postion. Starts fine.

Well now didn't that happen again now. Dash lights flickered, battery died, car died. Alt light does not come on with key now.

What I've done -
Fully charged battery. Cleaned battery terminals and terminal where small red wire attaches to alternator. Car start but doesn't charge. Belts are OK.

What I haven't done yet -
Checked/cleaned all other wires. Pulled dummy light.

My question -
I put an alternator in a '97 Subarau not long ago and that car is junk. Can I pull that alternator and put it in my 240?

Any other suggestions would be great - I can't really spend any time until Saturday morning.

Thanks,
Bill
