I am sure if I unplugged it I would eventually find out ...looked on wiring diagram, no joy

Looks like a resistor unit, too light duty wires me thinks, dash light dimming ? 

is !999 SF Forester, but likely very common to all EJ era

 

thanks

no numbers on it?

from memory (not with me at the moment) it may have numbers but not recognised Subaru or Nissan numbering ....good point though. I might have to Google them, or get at again, disconnect and see what does not work

possibly keyless control unit?

number 15 in the diagram here: http://opposedforces.com/parts/forester/en_s10/type_10/electronic/electrical_parts_body/illustration_2/

(the diagram is for European market, so not positive.. it was either that or USA market)

nope, keyless control unit that also does plain central locking, is a black plastic cased boz just below the air vent that blows RHD drivers RHS shoulder region
