battery replacement 96 outback

[wbergren]

I replaced the battery on my 96 outback and tried to keep the current
with jumpers onto a fresh battery. Unfortunately the jumper slipped
off before the new battery was set in place and now my turn indicators
wont stop blinking. How do I reset the system?

Either cycle the power door locks with your remote fob or search for and
press the button mounted (as I recall) in the wiring harness next to the
door lock controller, which is hung from the wiring harness under the
left-side of the dash above where your left foot would rest. In my '96
Outback, the controller was suspended by tie-wraps and not actually
"mounted" to anything. It was next to the left kick panel.
