Did you program the new key fob ?

Remote Transmitter Programming NOTE: All remote transmitters are programmable and must be set at the same time.

1. Turn the key from OFF to RUN four times within three seconds, ending in RUN. The locks will then lock and unlock, confirming program mode has been entered.

1. Press any button on each remote transmitter to be programmed. The doors will lock and unlock to confirm that each remote transmitter has been programmed.

1. If additonal remote transmitters are to be programmed, repeat Step 3 within 7.5 seconds or steps 2 and 3 if more than 7.5 seconds have elapsed.

1. To exit program mode, turn the ignition to START or wait 7.5 seconds.

1. NOTE: Failure to wait at least 20 seconds will cause programming failures. Wait at least 20 seconds after turning the key to OFF or after the last remote transmitter has been programmed to activate a remote transmitter for testing or verification

The alarm is armed if keyfob is used. So you must use the fob to disarm alarm first. So someone can not unlock and open door without keyfob or alarm will be set off.

Check door lock fuse in fuse panel.

I think the problem is that the keyfob your using has a bad button do you have a spare keyfob to try before you look at the car as the issue

Hello,
Most of the keyfobs have instrctions on the back, or on the inside cover on how to change the battery in the keyfob and then reactivate.
If you can't find the instructions, you can try the following.

From outside of the vehicle, with all of the doors closed, push the unlock button, then the lock button, then the unlock button, then the lock button.
If that doesn't work;
Those keys/key pads, are highly sensitive to interfearence from other remotes, such as other keys with chips, garage door openers, etc., try to make sure that no other electronic products are near your keyfob.

I hope this helps you.

Here's a link to program your fobs,need to do both at the same time. 2008 Subaru Forester Key Fob Remote Programming Instructions

sounds more like a relay for the door locks that is not getting a response back from circuit. keeps trying to lock and nothing saying it is locked.

hold both the lock and unlock buttons on the key fob for about 5 seconds. (this will toggle that setting on and off)

CHECK THE DOOR LOCKS FUSE.
