How to replace the battery of a Subaru Forester remote control.

Model: Subaru Forester MK 4, SJ - Years 2012-2019
Part: Key

Replacing the remote control battery of a Subaru Forester produced from 2014 to 2021 is a task that can be done independently and with a few steps. The first thing to do is to insert a flathead screwdriver into the small indentation on the remote control, applying slight pressure to open the key cover. Then, as shown in the video, we open the inside of the remote control in order to replace the old battery with the new one, being careful not to break the plastic hooks. Once this operation is done, we can install the new battery and close the remote control.

Usually, upon the first ignition of the dashboard, a sound similar to a spray can be heard from the rear of the cabin: this is the fuel pump pressurising the system and preparing to supply fuel to the engine for ignition; if this sound is not heard, start by checking the integrity of the relevant power fuse, and if it is intact, verify that voltage reaches the power connector; if current is present, you can also try powering the pump directly to confirm it is faulty; replacing it is very simple, just disconnect the connector and hoses, then unclip the retaining ring and remove it to replace it with a new one.
