Yeah, the connector under the rear seat on the passenger side can get excessive resistance and cause problems. Replacing it with insulated spade connectors usually fixes the problem.

I had this problem with my first legacy, moisture got into the fuel pump connector under the seat, it arced and melted enough to mess it up. I cut the connector off and just hard wired it. Never had a problem after that. Try replacing the connector or just hard wire it, make sure to unplug the battery obviously when doing this.
