Inside Automatic Door Locks Dont Work Subaru Legacy

In older subaru s it s caused by a defective door lock timer a common issue they ll randomly lock and unlock.

Inside automatic door locks dont work subaru legacy. Simultaneously press the remote s lock and trunk open buttons until you hear a long beep this takes about 5 seconds. A 10mm bolt present here holds it in position. I know the locks have their own 20a fuse in the panel under the dash i believe it is number 11. Oddly they ll normally do it when the car is sitting with no key in it.

Why would there be a relationship between the clock interior lights and door locks. Every other car i have owned has instructions in the owners manual on how to do. As a result power door locks that don t work are a little unnerving as they spell an increased security threat for your vehicle. They keep potential thieves and burglars out of your car and make it easy for you to lock and unlock your doors in a hurry.

To begin with if the door lock cylinder is pushing into the door most likely the bolt which holds it in place is loose or the cylinder needs to be replaced. I verified the presence of voltage at that location and the fuse is good. My review of the owners manual does not show any way to turn off the automatic door locks. To replace the cylinder the door panel needs to come off so that the back portion of the lock can be accessed.

Most cars don t lock the doors until the shift is moved to drive and most unlock the doors when the car is re placed in park. This subaru does the latter but not the former. The door switch could be the culprit too when i locked my forester 8 240 000 mi the passenger door lock somewhat shuddered as i locked it with the power lock.
