keyless entry weirdness

[Larry Sue]

My friends keyless entry in her Subaru Legacy seems to be broken. When
I click the remote, it unlocks all doors, and immediately locks them
back again. The buttons inside the car don't seem to work at all. Does
this mean there is a short circuit somewhere, or am I missing something
very simple?

Start with fixing buttons inside, and I suspect the keyless remote
problem may resolve. A shorted wire may well be the culprit.

The circuits aren't high tech by any stretch, but they can be a pain in
the ass to isolate. A wiring diagram from the service manual will be
nearly essential to your friend's quest.

My Forester came with two remotes. If so try the other one.
