Body - Whistle from Engine Area


SOURCE: Subaru Tech Tips

TITLE: Whistle From Engine Compartment

APPLIES TO: 03-04 Forester

SERVICE TIP:

If you get a '03MY or '04MY Forester and the owner is complaining of a faint whistle type noise from the engine area. The key is out of the ignition. The car is parked in a quiet location such as the owner's garage and the noise continues for approx. 10 minutes to 1/2 hour. Try replacing the keyless ignition buzzer located behind the grille. The connector designator is F102 which is a clear/neutral colored 2 pin connector.
