robm Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) 2001 Forester is the vehicle. I knew that system was a mistake. It started yesterday. The central locking system is locking the doors on its own. I came out at lunch, and had to unlock with the key. The same after lunch. The same at the end of the day. When I drove home, it had locked me in, and it wouldn't let me out! It kept locking the door as soon as I opened it, or else it wouldn't unlock at all. As I was sitting ther playing with it and trying to figure it out, I could hear it trying to lock spontaneously, click-click-click...It seemed to have stopped when I got out. This morning, it was locked again. And once I got in, the battery was too flat to start the engine, probably because this thing was running all night. 1. What is probably wrong with it? 2. How can I fix it? 3. Can I just pull the fuse to get it going? What else do I lose if I pull the fuse? 4. Maybe it would be better to unplug it. Where can I unplug it? IN the door or is there somewhere under the dash that will be easier to access? I need the car to get to Prince George on Sunday, 400 miles or so, and will be there far from home and tools for a week or 2, so I need a quick fix to get me going. Thanks.

Fairtax4me Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Look under the dash on the drivers side and there should be a remote keyless entry module. Unplug that and see if the problem stops. Could also be the door switch. I would try the RKE module first. The other option would be a bad security module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
