July 20, 201510 yr Hi folks, I recently purchased my first Scooby Impreza. Its an '07 wrx with about 50k on the clock, looks pretty well looked after. I've loving the drive and am happy with the car but had a hiccup yesterday. Got in the car to go for a spin and battery is flat
July 20, 201510 yr Just run with the sidelights on, something to do with the way the alternator works by all accounts it only chagrges when it needs to, if you have the lights & radio on it will 'see' the usage and tell the alternator to start charging the battery Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk
July 20, 201510 yr "Smart alternators" [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] as stants says, run with sidelights on. They switch off when the ignition is off anyway.
July 20, 201510 yr I always run with sidelights on too....partly for this reason but also as it looks darn good with my cree LEDs [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
July 20, 201510 yr Best thing ever lights that turn off when you kill the ignition [emoji51] Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk
July 20, 201510 yr Author Sounds simple folks. Wish I'd known this earlier! Anyway, will see how it goes with charger, hopefully that sorts it out. If not, anyone want to buy a ticket to Silverstone classics this Sunday!?
