My Legacy GT tailgate won't lock or unlock either. Took it to the dealer the other day and was told that the rear gate harness is frayed. They quoted me $342.60 to fix it. I told them no thanks and am very glad I found this post. Thanks for all the info you guys have been very helpful. I submitted a complaint and plan on fixing this myself.
It wasn't hard finding the problem as soon as I pulled the boot off the car. There is one severed wire.
I am not sure how to see all of the other wires without cutting the boot. But since the lock is my only problem I plan on just splicing a new section of this wire in and feeding it down through the boot.
does anyone know if 18 gauge wire will work for this?

Mattg,
I am having the exact same problem. I got the codes saying that 3 sensors are giving abnormal readings (both rear and the front right). The front right sensor was replaced just about 5 months ago. The front left wheel hub is also new. I have the front right hub still in the box, but I was waiting for it to go bad before putting it in.
I have no clue what to do from here or what to replace. After reading your problem it sounds like my only option is to take it in to a dealer and have them hook it up to a computer. I would love to get my cruise control back and abs working before winter.

Just finished splicing that wire in. I ended up using about 4 inches of 20 gauge and 2 butts, and was able to feed it down through with a wooden grill skewer. Trunk lock is working again
I hope that's the only wire that is bad, I guess I will find out eventually.
My total cost was about $3 for the butts at the hardware store. They gave me the wire free since it was so small. It took less than 10 min. I can't believe that Subaru wanted $340 to fix this.
Thanks to everyone that posted, you saved me huge!
