Subie_2000 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Hi, need help for a 2000 subaru outback wagon. Where is the keyless entry module located? I've seen some references to some subarus with the rectangluar module in the dash to the left of the steering column and above the fuse box. But that isn't where it is on the 2000, I checked. I've also seen some references to this or a security module located by the radio in the dash. But I swapped radios and didn't see anything there either. Can anyone tell me where the module is located for a 2000? Many thanks! - Subie_2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Hi Subie_2000 and welcome! I also have an '00obw. The keyless entry control module is behind the glove box. It would be the unit closest to you and closest to the fender. There is some other unit back there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subie_2000 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 Hey Porcupine, thanks a bunch. I would NOT have thought to look there! That's a long way from the door controls on the driver door! A question: Can I see it if I stick my head under the glovebox and look up? I'm not sure which unit it might be. Do I have to take out any part of the dash/glovebox to get to it? Many thanks - subie_2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Hi. Well I've never looked at mine, but I think you have to remove the glove box to get at it. Probably not a big deal since that's only a couple screws I think. Anyway, it's item 'B' in the diagramatic below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subie_2000 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 Ok, it looks like there are only two. I'm assuming B is on the left in the picture? (Not really a great letter ID in the picture). I should be able to find it. Thanks again! Subie_2000:banana: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Hi. Actually 'B' is on the right. It shows ( B ) \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subie_2000 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 Got it! The down arrow threw me off! - Subie_2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Ok cool! The Subaru service manuals have several special things like those arrows to indicate a nut to remove. There's other markings for 'selective' replacement parts which means you have to pick a shim or something that is the right size based on measurements or plastigage or whatever. Some are for fasteners that should be replaced any time they are removed, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
