Hi I have a 1996 subaru outback wagon. Recently it has developed problems with the radio going off, the abs light going on, and the speed/tach gauge needles not working. The problem is intermittant, so doesn't do it all the time. May be fine for a day or two.

Hi, the message is a little vague... Have you checked for body ground problems? Have you had the body contril module tested?
