keyless entry weirdness

Jan 05, 2005 2 Replies

My friends keyless entry in her Subaru Legacy seems to be broken. When I click the remote, it unlocks all doors, and immediately locks them back again. The buttons inside the car don't seem to work at all. Does this mean there is a short circuit somewhere, or am I missing something very simple?


Start with fixing buttons inside, and I suspect the keyless remote problem may resolve. A shorted wire may well be the culprit.

The circuits aren't high tech by any stretch, but they can be a pain in the ass to isolate. A wiring diagram from the service manual will be nearly essential to your friend's quest.

My Forester came with two remotes. If so try the other one.
