Weird alarm problem help needed??
 
Right been having a night mare with my alarm as far as i know its the standard alarm on my bug wrx. Somehow when i arm the alarm its draining the battery on my immobiliser fob? A couple of times now i have armed the car then only to come back the next morning to disarm and the immobiliser fob will not work.. So two times in the space of 2 weeks i have had to replace the batteries in the fob which seems to cure the problem. The only thing i can think of is that when i arm the car somehow the fob and the alarm keeps transmitting to each other to drain the battery in the fob overnight?? Anybody with some ideas please as i have not got an igloo whats going on with it and i haven't armed the car in 3 weeks because of this.. :nono::cuckoo:

Fob is faulty, switch is sticking. ebay a replacement, or a dealer will relieve you of many pennies.... and then charge you to code it to the ecu.

Sorry !

P.S. You could just remove the battery overnight.

But the light isnt staying on the fob so surely its not sticking.. I hear you though probably is a faulty fob/
