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.

 

could be any number of things, from earthing fault, to a loose connection somewhere

 

ok I have checked everything then checked again

 

might be an alarm fault then, could damp got into the works?

 

it has been sitting on drive for 13 14 months there has been mould on seats?

 

prob may have been damp get in it then, tbh i should htinkl you'll need a specialist to work there magic on it to get it back up working properly

 

also just noticed that the parking lights are not working the switch on top of steering col and when I turn headlights on with this switch in the on position the tail lights dont work.

 

other things I have just noticed is there is no check engine light and the hand brake light is on even when the hand brake is off.

def sounds like water has got into the electrics

 

auto elec or alarm specialist?

MAKE SURE YOU HAVEN'T GOT THE PLUG FOR THE CAM SENSOR AND INJECTOR MIXED UP AS I DONE THAT ON MINE, HOPE THAT HELPS

 

is that the ones behind the battery that come out of fuse box?

 

I have today wired the fuel pump up to a live and the fuel pump worked but the car would not start which I now think this is def alarm imobiliser problem.
does anyone know any toad specialists in newcastle area.

 

UPDATE, I have removed passenger seat and removed carpet in footwell and is soaking wet could the ecu be dead now?
