tenderfootblue Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Hey...I was just wondering if anyone knew if a 96 obw with power doors came from the factory with a key fob to lock and unlock the doors remotely? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I thought subaru didn't start with remote locks until '99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnceggleston Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 97 outback and GT both have remote entry and alarm. check www.cars101.com for available options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Look up under the driver side dash kick panel. If you see a black box about 4"x5"x1" usually tied up with zip strips that's the remote lock box. You can buy an aftermarket remote to work with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasy Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 My 96 OBW came from the factory with 2 key fobs for power door/lock. I bought this car new so I can tell you with absolute certainty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzpile Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Were it Avita perchance? There are ways if you go into the sites where you can "reset" and reestablish communication with aftermarket remotes. When I got my '97 LW nothing worked except 3 doors. After cleaning the deal up inside and new battery and fixing the hatch lock it's great. Also you find other things like remote start,sometimes.

Fuzpile Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I suppose it's old news but you ground yourself or the Q tip to a ground around any these things with chips. Static can reach a level to wipe some redundant cells out of the working path. I come from a day when esd mats and wrist straps and all that were just coming on the scene. Let's not forget a relatively isolated person sliding across a carpet in low humidity can generate quite a charge into one leg of an expensive circuit.

Fuzpile Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Dang! now I have to explain that. I don't mean any ground like from an AC appliance. That ground is foreign. I mean the car ground or that part inside the unit(usually B-) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
