Hi there ,,, ive got a 2001 wrx bugeye which was orignally from Rotterdam ,, and my dad changed the battery on the car to put a new battery on ,, and when i went to start the car, the fuel pumps working and the engine is trying to turn over but not fireing up ,, then the red key light come up on the dashbord,, any body know whats up with the immobilizer??
Thanks Scott

 

Have u put the code in it?

 

were abouts do you put the code in mate ? because i rang up the main dealers and they say under the streering wheel but there is only a fuse box there

 

is it not in the glove box? or under the glove box?

 

ill check cheers

 

dosesnt seem to be anything there

 

well on my 00 impreza it is in the glovebox, your just going to have to search for it, its in there somewhere

 

The red key light relates more to the factory immobilser than the Sigma one. Bein from Rotterdam, it may not even have a sigma alarm.
Do you have a blue key fob?

 

are right , its got just two normal keys with the car , one being the spare, with the bult in lock and de lock button , no fobs or anything

 

sounds like the ecu has lost the key code.. which is unusual.

Any ecutek dealer should be able to plug in and reprogram the key for you, the only mystery is why.

Where is the car?

My sigma keypad is mounted behind the rear view mirror, on the windscreen. Never used it or had the need to.

PS might not be the same keypad you require.

 

I had a similar problem recently. I pushed the car forward a bit, put the key in and left it till the light went out. I tried it a few times and took the key out for a few minutes in between. I was getting error code 53 on this.

 

That sound more like that aftermarket sigma I had on my last car - the subaru fitted ones have a keypad fitted in the drop down panel just above the bonnet release catch

 

Where your fog light switches and headlight beam controller are about 8 inches below you will see a plastic cover pull out the top and you will see the keypad for manually turning of the alarm id try that first

 

He's already confrimed he doesn't have a sigma alarm at all.
