Repeatedly Locks without being prompted by fob

fenski5

My 2010 Forester will randomly lock/make the armed confirmation sound after I park, remove my keys and exit the vehicle. I have a head light out (right hand) and have seen that is a common factor in similar problems.Could this be the source of my issue? I have unhooked the battery and it stopped after I hooked it back up. the problem returns days later. I couldn't find ant blown fuses.

Why don't you try a spare key that has no fob, or temporarily take the battery out of your fob--just to see if the fob itself is the issue.

I tried that also.

Could a loose/ corroded terminal cause this problem

Why don't you replace the headlight now?

Yes, loose, corroded terminals and bad grounds can cause problems.
