thank-you suzam for your information...........i did not get to try it but i wrote it down for the future. i went to subaru and they tried to reset my remotes. cost $44 (i had to buy a battery from them because i forgot to bring one with me ..duh...lol..) wellllllllllllllllllll when i got home one worked once and the other did not work at all ................soooooooooo back to jumping in the car to turn it off... 2 days later back at subaru, another guy attempting it.....he said one remote is dead and he fixed the other.. yehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ,finally peace and relaxation when around my car. it was nice of them not to charge me the second time. however if this one goes a new one is $70.00. the second guy also programmed it so the lights flash but no horn honks as i unlock or lock it. suzam i understood what you wrote about the valet programming but you did not clarify what the difference is about press and depress unless there is no difference. also if you read this, could you let me know what to change on my driver side blinker system since both the front and the rear are flashing incredibly fast. i did not find a fuse for it so i am guessing to look at both bulbs.......................thanks..........

i have read and tried everything that is posted here and i still have a problem. i may need a new remote, i will work on that next. i have a 2000 outback.i did not realize that by me checking and pulling the interior fuses that it would cause my security system to go bizerk.. i did not have my remote working and now it works infrequently. when i lock the doors and then open them with a key the security system goes off. i have to jump in my car, turn the key three times before 5 sec and the alarm turns off. BUT as soon as you lock the door and try again it starts all over.................i went to the page that described how to disable the security. it did not work, probably because my remote is handicapped in someway. what i did not understand from my manual is trying to put it in valet mode. "to enter the valet mode, open the drivers door and keep the "UNLOCK/DISARM" button depressed for more than 2 seconds. the indicator light repeatedly flashes 2 times while the system is in valet mode" . in the exiting of valet mode it is the same procedure except they want you to "keep the button "pressed" for more than 2 sec...... what is the difference between depressed and pressed? i tried it but it did not work....... also i read and saw pictures from an earlier post describing where and what to do with a security alarm button near the interior fuses or surrounding area that can be disabled by following a certain procedure. But i could not find it.......................my life was peaceful before i checked the fuses.(all because a quieter problem, my drivers side f+b blinkers are going a mile a minute and i thought it may be a fuse...nope...i still have that problem as well) hope someone can help me......thanks
