Angry Sigma Alarm Problem

Recently bought a 02 wrx bug , It has a immobiliser fitted and when I lock the car sometimes the hazards stay on . I am able to start the car but they wont go off ! the only way I can get them to go off is if I move the black box under the glove box where its all plugged in.


Any ideas on how to fix this permanently? cheers !

Looks as if the two relays in the Sigma control unit that operate the hazards are sticking (not an unknown problem - usually one side only)

No it doesn't mate . sounds like a dodger wire somewhere I have left it hanging for now so it is easily accessible will try hanging it up incase vibration is causing it .

That sounds like its on the right path ! .Any recommends on sorting that ?

And how much hassle is removing the whole immobiliser?

I Have taped it up for now and so far its been fine (touch wood) I am going to get it booked into Scooby clinic and they can remove it for £75 so will probably go with that as getting a new one fitted is £300
