Okay, here's the deal. i recently bought a 97 outback with blown headgaskets. That problem is fixed and the car runs like a champ. I found out that the car had keyless entry and I had two remotes that I programmed to the car.

 

The proble is that the car has stranded my wife twice with a keyless entry ignition lockout. She has had to use the little reset button in order to get the car to start. Until she did that the car wouldn't even click. Once she cycled the doors it started just fine. It hasn't done it today, but I am sure it will.

 

I'm thinking that one of the remotes is causing a glitch in the box and stutting it down, or is it something else? I can remove the keyless entry, but if I can keep it, it is a nice convience. The car is going to my sister to replace a POS mercury Sable that is ready to die.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i have a 97 obw that has the entry unit but i have never had a remote for it. my wifes company car remote set mine off so often i cut out the alarm horn.

 

thankfully sher has a different job and that car/remote is gone. but it still gets set off occasionally by some one else's remote.

 

did it happen in the same place both times.? it could be a co-worker.

 

programming a different remote should help. the unit learns the remotes code.?
