srponies Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 My '98 OBW has a keyless entry system, but I don't have any transmitters. I have located the receiver under the dash as well as the reprogramming button. I also copied down the FCC number from the receiver, but haven't been able to find any transmitters (on Ebay) with a matching code. Any other sources for this part, other than the dealer? Also - the large wire harness at the top of the receiver was unplugged. I plugged it back in, but a relay in the receiver began continuously clicking (like a turn signal relay). So I unplugged it again for now. Any ideas on this one? Should I just buy one of the cheap ($10) transmitters on Ebay an see if I can program it? Thanks for any info. Steve H.

svxpert Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 is it this one? http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=50537 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srponies Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 Nope - not that one. That looks like the newer style for 99+. Mine is rectangular with 2 square buttons. I spoke to the local dealer a few minutes ago. They said that as long as the style is correct for the year/model, then it will work. But, they said the transmitter had to be programmed at the dealer (for $55). He mentioned that he thought they had to hook up some sort of equipment to do it, but he (the parts guy)wasn't completely sure. I'm not so sure about that either. Thanks, Steve H.

srponies Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 That's the one. Just need get my priorities in order regarding the car, then look at buying one. (I should probably fix the engine & trans first, then worry about the keyless entry). Thanks for the info. Steve H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
