Keyless lock/ unlock not working

Featured Replies

My infra red key no longer operates the doors remotely. Have put a new battery in but still nothing. Is there a batery in the car receiver? I am assuming not. Most probably a problem with the key electrics? Anyone else experienced this problem?

Year and model, please.

 

 

No Subaru receiver has a battery, they all run off of the car battery.

 

Silly question: Do you only have one remote or can you try a second one?

 

You can try to reprogram the remote to the car and see if that works. Info on the board or try http://www.cars101.com for instructions. If that fails the remote may be dead.

Suzam says it all.

 

To reprogram the remote you will have to find the service

button.

It's a momentary switch (button) under the dash.

 

Sometimes hanging loose sometimes installed in a hole.

May have a red colored button.

 

Find your system here and follow the instructions

BTW the remote is a RF (Radio Frequency) transmitter

not IR (Infra Red)
