Yeah, I would think verifying that it is a Subaru part and/or cleaning the contacts would be the most logical next step. A pressure check would also be nice if you are worried that there is a serious problem outside of the sender and its contacts. But if the sender isn't Subaru, it is highly likely that this is the problem.
