Building Keyless entry system for 95, 96 legacy

[FleaDog]

I want to buy/source on my own the parts needed to essentially recreate the once offered keyless entry system for these years. I have an LS wagon. This is something the L and LS owners may be interested in. The LSI came with the system - more below

 

background from what i have reasearched: Subaru made a kit consisting of two part #'s: H7110AS000 and H7110AS300 which consisted of a (1) "brain" or control module, (2) actuator for driver door, and (3) i believe the transmitters/remotes. It came on the LSI, bot not the other trims. It could be bought and installed. Unfortunately it isnt made/doesnt exist anymore.

 

Heres a link to the instructions on scoobymods:

Another site I found with some similar info:

And Another (more to do with converting the LSI's keyless entry to adding an alarm):

As noted I want to buy the necessary components and do it myself. Anyone done this or recommend specific parts?

 

thanks

Looks like you need a #742 door lock actuator, less than $10.

 

I am going to get the bulldog kit:

and add the acuator to it

update

 

got the bulldog kit and got it installed.

 

The base kit comes with this hardware: "brain" and wiring for keyless entry, and relay and wiring for either starter immobilizer or you can use it to make the parking lights flash when you use the keyless remote, and the (2) remotes.

 

I bought the power door actuator for the driver door and got it installed fine. Source some self-tapping short metal screws to attach the brace to the inner door panel.

 

a 12volt test light is handy to confirm where you want to tap into for 12v constant. I used the big black with yellow stripe wire on the ignition harness under the panel under the steering wheel.

 

The bulldog instructions essentially describe 3 different ways to make the wiring connections: A,B, and C. The instructions say to follow "B" for "some subarus" but I successfully installed mine using method "A".

 

Following this way the essential connecitons on the brain harness are: red to 12v constant, black to chassis ground spot (metal bracket/screw under same panel), purple & purple black stripe that run together into a fuse on the wire also to 12v constant, brown with black stripe and white with black stripe also to ground, and the blue with black stipe and green with black stripe go to the actuator for lock or unlock.

As a suggestion for other people in the same boat: you can source the motors from a junkyard. The wires coming out of them are most probably the same as the ones included with the aftermarket kit.

Here's what I did with my remote start and keyless entry system:

Post #31 and #32 show what I did to get all the features working in my 1990 leggy. It's a little bit different than your car, but not really that much.
