We bought this subaru and they had just put in a new alternator. We drove it home, parked it for a week and it wouldn't start. The battery would not charge and the chargers fault light came on. I replaced the battery and drove it for about 4 months without any problems. I went to start it and it did nothing, no lights, no horn, nothing. This new battery would not charge either with the charger, even after removing it from the car. Same problem. Any ideas?
