I have a 95 wrx and have just changed the engine like for like just the block all old anciliries fitted it has been off the road with no batt conected for 12 months. I got everything finished and reconnected the batt turn the key and the fuel pump was not working so replaced and still no joy, I have now noticed that only the drivers door is opening when I press the key thob on toad remote the light on the dash for the alarm seams to be working fine. the alarm was fitted when I bought the car and have no paper work for it I have a key but don't know if it is for alarm. I am unsure if this is an alarm or electrical problem relay etc I have checked fuses but everything is in japanese just a slight problem. Any help would be very much apreachiated.
