Hello ladies and gentlemen.

I have an '02 WRX with a no start condition and I'd like to confirm/deny my diagnosis before I go tearing things apart.

Vehicle ran fine this morning, no previous issues of this nature.

Stopped for coffee, out of car maybe 20 minutes. Ignition off, lights off, no draw.

When I got back in, it acted as if the battery was dead.

(I don't have a multimeter with me)

Tried to jump start it to no avail.

When I put the key in the ignition, everything seems normal, until I turn the key forward, and and the odometer fades to nothing.

Key back, odometer comes back on, but no power to anything else.

I believe I'll replace the battery, first, as it's three years old but, I'm thinking there's an issue with the ignition switch.

Opinions?

Thanks in advance!

It was the battery.

Thanks!

It was so weird though, how abruptly it went bad, and that it wouldn't even try to start with a jump.
I mean, I've had Jaguars for years and even with their "particular" ignition systems, this was still very odd.
