Hi 👋
I was wondering if anyone knew what this box is that is situated under the scuttle panel near the window wipers motor it is bang in the middle of the car.
its a subaru impreza bugeye 2002 non turbo gx.
its a black box with a wire coming from it but the wire has been cut & id like to understand why & i did wonder about connecting it back together but the car is finally working properly & I didnt want to ruin that lol
I will attach a photo.

 

Usual UK "addition" in the scuttle area for newage models, would be the alarm siren.

 

thank you for this, I had no idea what it was, can I put the wire back together & it will be ok? It won't interfere with the immobiliser will it?

 

As said this is the siren for the alarm.
You have two immobiliser circuits
1: OEM via the key transponder chip/immobiliser ECU and main ECU
2: Sigma alarm circuitry, assuming it is still fitted, working and used

 

Thank you for this really helpful diagram. How did you find it? Its brilliant. Super grateful to you. So i could literally connect the wire back up & not have any issues with the immobiliser? I had issues with the immobiliser before but I sold the car however I bought it back 4 years later & it has a different key and I think someone may have put a different system in it doesnt make the noise it used to when you didnt close a door properly and then lock it on the key fob and im worried that if the siren alarm wire has been cut then if someone tries to steal it then it won't go off.

 

I suspect it was cut because it had failed, or more likely wouldn't turn off. Get a decent auto electrician or alarm installer.
