Any red lights on instrument cluster?  Probably too busy dealing with situation to notice.  But one time as I was merrily cruising along on freeway in the desert, hit a bump in pavement and total red-light alert!  Motor was still running, made it off freeway, shut down motor....no restart.  Turns out, it was a broken Ring terminal on the big red wire to starter.  Apparently it was just hanging on by a thread; when I hit the bump on pavement, finally broke loose.  (Root cause was numerous fiddling with that ring terminal due to several situations with starter, including the Subie installation:  it cold-work hardened, and broke.)

 I don't know. Had my hands so full dealing with rush hour interstate
traffic I didn't notice.  I'll check it out specifically.

Thanks.
