idosubaru Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 i've repaired two different failures of keyless entry remotes and they're really simple in 00-04 era outbacks with the tear shaped ones with blue and orange buttons. there are plastic tabs on the backing plate that, when fitted together, hold the battery in place. if the tab breaks off the battery can slide out of position and render it non-working sometimes then working again if it slides back in place. use glue, epoxy, whatever to create another "stop" where the old one was. another one, one side of the battery holder, which had a solder joint on it - so i assume it needed to be soldered - the solder had broken. a few seconds and one dab of a soldering iron repaired it. it actually repaired with just the soldering iron on the original solder...but i hit it with some new stuff for good measure.
