Hi everyone, I am new here but have owned several Subaru's in the past, and I just bought another one (2003 Forester XT) which seems to have an alarm issue I need to fix - can anyone help?
I collected the car (bought from auction) and everything was fine except it needed a jump start (oh oh!) when I got it home everything was fine except the tailgate would not unlock remotely.
The next day (yesterday) I thought I would take a look, all the doors were unlocked?? and the alarm went off when I tried to start the engine, the key button seems to have no effect with either of the two keys. I disconnected the battery to save my ears, left it for a couple of hours and re-connected the battery and immediately the alarm went off - again no effect from either key button.
Is there a fault, a way of resetting the alarm, do I need to change battery in the key, or am I doing something really stupid?
Any help greatly appreciated....
