Diagnostic to check electrical after another dead battery. Ran battery diagnostic. Battery is cranking okay, testing okay. Good voltage. Nothing wrong. Does not see anything drawing the power, but he did notice the sunroof had a big clog in it. Wires were getting wet. He cleaned it out and hopefully water should not get down in it. Pretty sure what he did will resolve it, but not completely sure until it rains again or it drains again. Quote for catalytic converters over $1600 with labor

INPSECTION: Car passed inspection but not emissions. New tires needed soon. ODB emissions check was not ready originally because I reset fault cod P0420 too soon before taking it in. AutoPro advised me to drive it through cycles and return for the sticker. As soon as my ODB app showed cycles complete, P0420 came on again. From what I have read, my options are: 1) drive highway and hope it goes off long enough to get a sticker, 2) possibly bad 02 sensors, or 3) needs new catalytic converter. Dan showed me how to get by the issue. Reset codes, drove until 7/8 tests done and P0420 was pending but not logged. They passed it fine. RF axle replaced to go along with the LF from last year.

Parts from junkyard. Replaced air intake cleaning assembly, replaced headlight assemblies, reinstalled rear hatch interior liner. Coin holder fusebox cover. Headligts were stock style, cleaned with abrasive. They came with plug-and-play LED retrofits. One was not working, so removed both and reinstalled my original Halogens for now. Self install.

AAA replaced my 'new' battery, which was replaced by them about a year ago. The tech said he did not think it was bad, but the check tool said to replace it so he would.

Repaired at AutoPro. 1 hr, extra.5 hour for stuck axle. $181 labor plus $205 part + 60 hazmat and shop fee. Mechanic said axle I had bought was not correct. They had to order one for an Impreza instead. Could be that transmission was replaced. Or older Outbacks we're actually built on Impreza chassis and only renamed in ~2000-2002. Mine could be a hodgepodge.

Mike and I removed LF wheel and axel but discovered Axel is rust welded to hub. Attempted removal with hammer, torch and WD-40, and impact driver to no avail. Will need a 20 ton press. Reassembled. Added P steering fluid, car no longer whines in a hard turn. Was low, has some bubbles. Definite leak.

LR brake is a different bulb - not original connector. Resealed all assemblies with 5/16" weatherstripping plus SVT silicone sealant. $30 for parts, $70 beer and pizza for Mike H.

INSPECTION: Failed inspection initially due taillight leak plus corroded connections. Passed emissions. After considering options, decided to self-repair. Lee Myles quoted >$1,000 for new assemblies and install; I fixed for under $25 and about an hour of work using new sealant from Lowe's. Lee Myles also identified several other needs totaling ~$3,000 (including tires). INSPECTION passed upon re-testing.
