later, Peter Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 two days of owning a '96 OBW. The remote may have worked (just heard the click & watched the lights)... but stopped (I guess). I tried to manipulater from inside driver door... all doors locked but only driver's opened. so I replaced the battery. lights flashed again & heard the clicking. All doors lock but only driver's door unlocks... Any suggestions? Reprogramming the remote? I trust you guys... most of you, anyway. Later, Peter Also this one seems to have more "pep" then the '99 30th anniversary edition (both 2.5's)... but no heated seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smpol19 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Make sure you are hitting the unlock button twice, most cars only open the dirvers door on the first push all the doors on the 2ed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knelson Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Yeah, tried that... not the answer. Later, Peter Have you tried holding down the unlock button until you hear them unlock twice? Not two pushes - but one continuous long push. 99 Forester requires this to unlock ALL locks. One push/click only gets you the drivers side door. Sometimes its a little fussy. -kurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only needed to reset the the button beneath the dash while turning the key & pressing the remote while hanging upside down on the driver's side floor...ACTUALLY it only needed to be reprogrammed for some unknown reason. RWEDDY, I had just downloaded your link info (had a question regarding that) thinking that it would be my fun thing to do next Monday... So, here's to another Subaru OBW Phase I success story.
