[rsghowellnj]

Can someone help me. I need to reprogram my keyless remote transmitter so that the car will recognize my keyless remote. I have a 97 Subaru Outback. Thanks!

You need to locate the wiring harness for the keyless entry system under the dash. It has a programming button on it. It's on the left side of the steering column not far behind the hood release on mine. Assuming you find it, here's the drill:
1. Open the driver side door (leave it open)
2. Turn the ignition key to the ON position
3. Press and hold the programming button. In 15 seconds the system should respond by cycling the door locks 3 times.
4. Keep holding the programming button in and press "lock" on the transmitter. The door locks should cycle once.
5. Release the programming button and turn the ignition off.

CAVEAT: If step 4 doesn't work, press the lock button twice on the transmitter. Assuming you have more than one transmitter, you can repeat step 4 multiple times without going back to the beginning.

Let me know how it works.
