Key Fobs?

[tenderfootblue]

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

I thought subaru didn't start with remote locks until '99

97 outback and GT both have remote entry and alarm.

 

check www.cars101.com for available options.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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-) .
